Input via java.util.Scanner

Question

I know it's possible for JDeveoper 10G to take input via BufferedReader, is the same possible using the scanner class as in:
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your age");
int age = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("You are " + age);
JDeveloper can't seem to take imput from the scanner class. Is there a way arround this?

I am aware of that Shay, but it does not work for the Scanner Class, at least for me anyway.
Try the following example code in JDeveloper 10.1.3 I constructed this to put the Scanner though its paces for the Job I need.
It works very well when used from the command line, but cannot be read with JDeveloper even with those settings you describe turned on.
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter your age");
int age = input.nextInt();
System.out.println("You are " + age);
System.out.println("what is your name?");
String name = input.next();
System.out.println("Yout name is " + name);
System.out.println("Please enter your height");
double height = input.nextDouble();
System.out.println("So you are " + height + " tall.");
System.out.println("What sex are you M/F?");
char sex = input.next().charAt(0);
if (sex == 'm' || sex == 'M')
System.out.println("Ahh so your a male");
else if (sex == 'f' || sex == 'F')
System.out.println("Ah you your a femaile.");
System.out.println("You are English right? (True/alse)?");
boolean eng = input.nextBoolean();
System.out.println("Right so it's " + eng + " that your English. You are " + age + " years of age, and your name is " + name + ", your sex is " + sex + " and you are " + height + " tall.");
