Look at the API of the Scanner class. Use the methods hasNextInt and nextInt.
Read the numbers and use a for-loop for each line, in the while loop. The numbers will tell you how many asterisk you will print. Also read the assignment for that matter.
Surely you know how to write a for loop:

while has next int {
   read that int
   for loop {
      System.out.print("*") // to print asterisks at the same line
  }
  System.out.println(); // to change lines
}
