User inputs

[Jools Birch]

I'm wondering how you would go about making a program that prints out a users input.
Could I have code for it?

public class Echo {
  public static void main(String[] unused) throws Exception {
    int c;
    while ((c = System.in.read()) != -1)
      System.out.write(c);
  }
}

But of course, this isn't what you're really after. Want to be more specific?

Like this
Prompt user to enter a text "Enter something"
Once the user presses Enter,
whatever the user has inputted is displayed.

Not to give it all away for free...
Prompt by printing to System.out, of course. Read a line by wrapping System.in in an InputStreamReader and a BufferedReader in turn, then calling BufferedReader.readLine(). Then print the result to System.out.

Why not "give away for free", it's not that much of a program is it?
