How can I get the input from keyboard without using swing?

I used to use c++.If you want to get input you write
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
int a,b;
cout<"Please input a & b";
cin>>a>>b;
count<<"what you input is a="<<a<<",b="<<b;
return 0;
}
Can I use java to get the input from the keyboard like this without
using the GUI?
