how is it donne to read a whole sentence in java ? i’m using System.in but the only thing that i get is the last word of the sentence.  
Here the part of my code:

Scanner lectClavier = new Scanner(System.in);  
String mot = lectClavier.next();  
(…)  
System.out.println(“LE MOT EST :” + mot);

and i just see the last word… not the whole sentence
