System.in is the standard input stream that java supplies to get input from the console. I usually use code that looks like this:

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

Then use the readLine() method in the BufferedReader class to read each line of input. For more info, check out the java api.
