Reading System.in for Intellij using Console

Question

I need to open up the console and type in inputs for my an assignment using Intellij. Eclipse has a way of doing this using the Scanner class and reading System.in but running the same code in IntelliJ does not work as I can't type anything into the console.

Is there any way to do this?
My code is as follows:

    public class BasicAssertions {
       @Test
       public void testAssertions(){
           System.out.println("Enter: ");
           Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
           int first = reader.nextInt();
           int second = reader.nextInt();
           String s = reader.next();
           String s2 = reader.next();
           assertTrue(first<=second);
           assertFalse(first+second >100);
           assertNotEquals(s,s2);
           assertNotNull(s2);    
       }    
   }

Answer 1

Just click on the console window and type, it works for me on IntelliJ 13 CE. See the image below, I clicked in the console and wrote the text (it appears in green then, I typed enter and it shows up):

Answer 2

Resolved. A public static void main() method is required for the correct console to appear, otherwise running using the default JUnit Test configuration will only result in a console that doesn't receive inputs.
