Here is a simple loop that will read from STDIN and
then output each line back out to STDOUT.

        import java.io.InputStreamReader;
        import java.io.BufferedReader;

        ...

        BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String data;

        while ((data=input.readLine()) != null)
        {
                System.out.println("--> " + data);
        }

This will do all of the locale correct work and for each line
of input, will echo back the line with "--> " pre-pended to it.
It exits at EOF or a thrown exception :-)
