Problem in a class :(

Question

Could someone help me to find why the intRead method doesn't work ???
import java.io.*;
public class EntreeFormatee {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // M�thode permettant de lire une valeur int...
          public int intRead() // the error is here...it's written : "Syntax error on token "(", ";" expected"
               try
                    for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
                         if(tokenizer.nextToken()==tokenizer.TT_NUMBER)
                         return (int)tokenizer.nval; // La valeur est num�rique donc renvoyer comme int
                         else
                              System.out.println("Entree incorrecte: " + tokenizer.sval + " Saisissez un entier une nouvelle fois");
                              continue; // R�ssayer l'op�ration de lecture
                    System.out.println("Cinq erreurs de lecture pour la valeur int" + " - programme termin�");
                    System.exit(1); // Terminer le programme
                    return 0;
               catch(IOException e) // Erreur de la lecture du nextToken()
                    System.out.println(e); // Afficher l'erreur
                    System.exit(1);
                    return 0;
          // plus d'autres m�thodes pour lire d'autres types de donn�es...
          // Objet pour d�couper en cha�nes distinctes l'entr�e du flot d'entr�e standard
          private StreamTokenizer tokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

public static void main(String[] args) {
public int intRead() // the error is here...it's written : "Syntax error on token "(", ";" expected"
{ [/code]
Java doesn't allow nested methods; define your intRead method somewhere else at
the clas level (static) or at the object level.
