Don't have time to say much right now, but go take a look at Scanner.

I think that the Scanner class is out-of-date, we now use this:
import java.io.*;
public class <class name>
{
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException
{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (System.in));
System.out.print ("Enter text: ");
String text = br.readLine();
//code to make use of the variable "text"
}
}

Two things:

1. Scanner is not out-of-date; depending on application you may use either the method you list or Scanner or some combination or variation.

2. You resurrected a thread that's almost 7 years old. Please try to post only in recent threads.

import java.util.Scanner;
/*you must use this import statement to use the scanner class*/

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
/*this is the syntax of how to instantiate a new scanner. you can substitute the "scan" for the variable of your choosing*/

kb.nextLine();
//reads in a String from the keyboard

kb.nextInt();
//reads in an int (integer) from the keyboard

kn.nextDouble();
//reads in a double from the keyboard

kb.nextBoolean();
//reads in a boolean from the keyboard

kb.nextLong();
//reads in a long from the keyboard
