VSCode not reading Cyrillic from console

Well, here is the problem, I have started using VScode, and I can't read from console cyrillic characters.
My code:
import java.util.Scanner;
class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in, "UTF-8");
String word = input.nextLine();
System.out.println(word);
}
}
Now when I enter any cyrillic string it will print empty string back to me. If i write something like
System.out.println("Привет"); //cyrillic symbols
It will print "Привет", which is fine. So I am guessing it has something to do with reading the string rather than outputing it.
chcp command gives Active code page: 65001
I have tried setting encoding and without it, but it doesn't seem to work, is there something I missed?
Thanks in advance

I've tested the code on my machine and got the same result: nothing shown;
You can see, when run it in external Window PowerShell or Command Prompt, the result is different but still not shown correctly:
When we change the encode style to GBK(936), the cyrillic characters can be displayed correctly:
When it comes to changing integrated terminal encoding style in vscode and execute code again, it still shows nothing:
About these different results between external Command Prompt and integrated terminal in VS Code, I've put a github request. And I'm doing some research, if any useful imformation i get, i will update you.

InOut.readInt() only working in Windows Java Editor

At school, I write Java programs with Windows’ Java Editor (console mode). There, InOut.readInt() (used for user input) works without problems and I don’t have to import anything.
Now, I have a Java homework for the holidays, and I try to write Java programs on my Mac. In online console Java editors, the line InOut.readInt() causes this error:
/IntBetween10And100.java:8: error: cannot find symbol
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
^
symbol: variable InOut
location: class IntBetween10And100
1 error
I already tried import lines (placed before the class) like:
import java.*
import java.util.*
import java.util.InOut
import java.io.BufferedStreamReader
import java.util.*;
public class IntBetween10And100 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
}
}
int input = InOut.readInt("Integer --> ");
should produce the line
Integer -->
but instead, the error message (seen above) appears.

OK, so you are using the "Java-Editor" tool on Windows for writing your Java code.
It turns out that Java-Editor includes a class called InOut as an example class. (You can see it here: http://javaeditor.org/doku.php?id=en:examples).
For various reasons, it is not suitable for use in production code of any kind:
It is not part of the Java SE class library, or any 3rd-party libraries.
It is a class in the default package
It has limited functionality, even compared to the real System.in and System.out
It would interfere with any application or 3rd party library code that uses System.in in the normal way. (It creates its own BufferedReader to wrap System.in. That is liable to capture "type-ahead" input.)
You don't really need to use it for educational purposes either. It is only a wrapper class ...
However, if you want to use InOut outside of the Java-Editor context, you could simply download the source code from the page above and add it to your project. I can't tell you exactly how, but adding classes should be explained in the documentation of the tool you are using now! (If you are serious about learning Java, I would actually recommend that you download and install a real Java JDK and a real Java IDE on your own computer.)
The authors have neglected to include an explicit copyright notice in the InOut.java file. However, the Java-Editor site as a whole is licensed as "CC Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International".

java cant find or load my program when I have a package heading

I can run programs which do not have a package without any hitch. If I try and add a package then java simply cannot find them. I have set the class path and I have tried running - java packagename.ProgramName.
I have found a number of similar threads on here and have spent four hours going through all of them and trying everything and nothing works for me.
Yet as soon as I edit the .java file and recompile without a package heading - it immediately works perfectly. Why? And how can I fix it? I would like to be able to have my classes organised in packages!
This is the code I am using (I normally use eclipse and just wrote this to try out cmd out of curiosity).
package hello;
public class HelloWorldApp{
public static void helloWorld(){
System.out.println("Hello world");
}
}
and
package hello;
public class HelloBackApp{
public static void helloBack(){
System.out.println("Hello back");
}
public static void main(String[] args){
HelloWorldApp.helloWorld();
helloBack();
}
}
As I say if I delete both the package heading java HelloBackApp runs just fine.
And my path to my program is
c:\Users\sam\javastuff\hello
I have of course tried java hello.HelloBackApp from both the javastuff dir and the hello dir. No joy
It works immediately if I delete both the package headings and type java HelloBackApp from the hello directory.

try as follows,
create folder structure as your package and place java file in that folder
For ex, my java file is under
c:\code\com\test\Test.java and package is "package com.test".
I compiled and run code from
c:\code>
c:\code> javac com\test\Test.java
c:\code> java com.test.Test

Ok after much research I realised what my problem was and have fully resolved it. I think I see why I have been unable to find an "answer" to this question in forums. It is not a simple quick fix - my whole understanding of how to correctly get the class path set up and get a proper compile done was very poor. It becomes a whole new subject if you switch from compiling/running on an IDE to doing so from the command line. I think it is an excellent thing for new programmers to do though as I believe the improved understanding of CLASSPATH is going to be something that will stand us all in good stead for the future.
I found all the answers to my questions here : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-classpath-windows/
and recommend anyone having similar problems I was having to read through this excellent document. Best wishes to all the other guys struggling with this out there! :)

Error: Could not find or load main class hello.world.HelloWorld

I am trying to run this project called "hello user". I am new to Java, so wrote a simple program that takes your name, and displays "Hello ". while Running it, I get the following error:
run:
Error: Could not find or load main class hello.world.HelloWorld
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
But when I run file HelloWorld.java, it does it fine
I am doing this on Netbeans IDE 7.2

Rather than the coding error, it could be related to IDE. Since the "Run File" runs okay, but 'Run Project" does not, I believe you have something to set up in IDE itself. Right click the project, and select "Set is as Main", now run the project. I am just giving it a guess, may not help you. But it worth a shot.If it does not help, please paste your code too.

Your class needs a public static void main(String[] args) function. And moreover I suspect that the error could be in the package.
If you want your class in <main_package>.<sub_package>, The directory structure is
- main_package
- sub_package
-HelloWorld.java
And be sure to write your class like this.
package main_package.sub_package;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello " + args[o]);
}
}
This is all due to the naming convention in Java

You need to run the .class file containing the public static void main(String[] args) method..
Here, your HelloWorld.java file might contain a class with main() method.. So, you can run it..
This is because, execution of any Java program starts with the invocation of main().. JVM needs an entry point to your code.. Which is main().. If it doesn't find one.. It will not run..
So, make sure, whatever class file you are running, it should have main() method..
UPDATE :- And for the starting point, may be you can skip using packages.. Just go with plain Java class without packages..

This message can also appear in Eclipse (Juno 4.2.2 in my case) and I have found two potential causes for it.
In my cases:
1. a DTD was in error. I deleted the file and that solved the issue*.
2. having cleaned the project, an external Jar that I had built externally had been deleted as could be seen from Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries.*
*Having solved either of the above issues, it was necessary to restart Eclipse

if you are using intellij idea then just rebuilding (clean and build) project might solve your problem . because intellij might be still trying to load the old classes which are not there or changed

Make sure you call looks like below:
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("hello user");
}
}
To run a Java class in stand alone mode, public static void main(String[] args) is the entry method, which is must.

Weird error with Locale.getISOCountries()

I'm using this code:
for (final String code : Locale.getISOCountries())
{
//stuff here
}
But on compile I get this error:
[ERROR] Line 21: No source code is available for type java.util.Locale; did you forget to inherit a required module?
And then a stack trace of compiler errors.
I'm doing both of these imports at the beginning of the class:
package com.me.example;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.*;
What can be wrong?
In Netbeans i see the autocomplete options and no syntax error for the Locale object...

Something screwy with your setup, the folllowing program works fine for me.
import java.util.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class Donors {
public static void main (String [] args) {
for (final String code : Locale.getISOCountries()) {
System.out.println (code);
}
}
}
The fact that it's asking for source code leads me to believe that it's trying to compile or run it in some sort of debugging mode. You shouldn't need the source code for java.util.* to compile, that's just bizarre.
See if my simple test program works in your environment, then try looking for something along those lines (debugging options). Final step: compile your code with the baseline javac (not NetBeans).
UPDATE:
Actually, I have found something. If you are creating GWT applications, I don't think java.util.Locale is available on the client side (only the server side). All of the references on the web to this error message point to GWT and its limitations on the client side which are, after all, converted to Javascript goodies, so cannot be expected to support the entire set of Java libraries.
This page here shows how to do i18n on GWT apps and there's no mention of java.util.Locale except on the server side.

Looks like there might be something fishy in your build environment, as Locale.getISOCountries() should work just fine. Try compiling a small test program manually and see if you get the same error.

Definitely try to boil this down to a minimum, three-line program (or so), compile from the command-line, then put that class into your IDE and see if you still get the error, and if not, then change/add one line at a time until you have the original failing program, looking for what causes the problem. I'm thinking maybe some other import in your code is importing a Locale class? Why in the world would it be looking for source code?
See what happens when you compile this from the command-line:
import java.util.*;
public class LocaleTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Locale.getISOCountries();
}
}
