console.readLine(""); in Eclipse?

After starting the Java basics course I downloaded Eclipse to play around in and noticed that the console does not have the .readLine("") method. I am aware that the Treehouse videos imported the Console and stored it as console and in Eclipse I have imported the Scanner and named it "scan". I am wondering why/how to get the readLine.

This is my code: String response = scan.readLine("Hello world!");

String response = scan.nextLine();

Then type the response in the console, assuming you constructed scan = new Scanner (System.in).

Thank you but I am wondering how to have the console output a question and wait for a response instead of having two separate lines of code.
