(1) May I ask: Why only press "return key" to do something? You may do something when receiving other input string.
(2) One class may implement the interface KeyListener to listening to the keyboard.
(3) I have written a simple program using KeyAdapter to monitor the keyboard for your reference.

/* The following program is listening to the kayboard.
 * DOS window output prints each character client pressed. 
 * When pressing return key, "Do Something" is printed.
 * */
  
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Key extends JFrame{
	
	public Key(){
	setSize(200,200);
	setVisible(true);	
	addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){  //anonymous class			
	public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e){ //call this method by pressing any key
	System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());	// print any printable character
	if ((int)e.getKeyChar()==10) // if pressing the "return key"
		System.out.println("Do Something");// then print "Do Something"
			} 
		});
	}
	
	public static void main(String args[]){
		Key k = new Key();
		k.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	}
	
}

If you're using the console, you're on the right track. Your only trouble is that the Scanner.next() method only seems to grab non-null input followed by a return. Just the return won't do it. Try Scanner.nextLine()

Tong's solution is worth understanding when you get into a GUI, but it looks like you're not quite doing that here.
