Answer 1

I am not familiar with the corejava book, but here is an example that will work without any extra libraries, and will probably be more help to you in the long run.
import java.io.*;
public class Test
    public static void main(String[] args)
         try {
             BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
             System.out.print("Please enter your name:");
             String yourname = br.readLine();
             System.out.println("Hello," + yourname);
         } catch(Exception e) {
             e.printStackTrace();
