well so far i have this... its not much but its a start.. i guess
right now i just need help on reading input.. words input not integers

Code:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class dictionary
{
    public static void mian(String[] args){
        try
		{
			BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));


			String hi = "Used to express greeting. See Regional Note at hey.";
            String bye = "Used to express farewell.";
            try
			{
               	String input = reader.readLine();

                if(input == "hi")
                {
                    System.out.println(hi);
                }


            }
			catch (NumberFormatException nfe)
			{
               	System.out.println("You didn't enter a number");
            }

         reader.close();
      	} catch (IOException ie)
		{
         System.out.println(ie);
      	}
    }
}


i get this error when trying to run it


Code:
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin\java -Didea.launcher.port=7532 -Didea.launcher.library=C:\IntelliJ-IDEA-4.5\bin\breakgen.dll -Dfile.encoding=windows-1252 -classpath C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\charsets.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\jce.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\jsse  .jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\plugin.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\rt.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\su  nrsasign.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\ext\dnsns.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\ext\ldapsec.jar;C:\j2sd  k1.4.2_07\jre\lib\ext\localedata.jar;C:\j2sdk1.4.2_07\jre\lib\ext\sunjce_provider.jar;C:\java\classe  s;C:\IntelliJ-IDEA-4.5\lib\idea_rt.jar com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain dictionary
