I am using netBeans to teach a college course in object-oriented programming
using Java.  For many examples and problems we use console input and output.  I
have noticed the following code fragment does not work correctly:

        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        //Prompt for and read in the number of quarters
        System.out.print("Enter number of quarters: ");
        numquarters = scan.nextInt();
        
Nothing is printed in the Output section but the user is still prompted. 
Changing the print to a println resolves this but then the program would
incorrecly prompt in a real console, previous version of netBeans or Eclipse. 
Personally, I like the way the 3.x versions handled console input.  I know this
is probably a minor thing with the IDE since its focus is J2EE development but
it does cause an issue with my students since I want to expose them to this type
of technology to work this.  Thank you.
