Eclipse is unable to locate System.in in java code

Question

I have the code:

import java.io.*;
...     
public void test() {
...
            InputStreamReader inputStream = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
...     
}

but eclipse is not allowing the "in" part of the System.in.

When placing the '.' after System, I get offered many alternatives, but not 'in'.

the error message is given in eclipse is: "in cannot be resolved or is not a field".

I've been 'round in circles with it, but cannot see why - anyone have any ideas?

Running Eclipse on Debian Jessie.

Hope this helps, modify it as:

InputStreamReader inputStream = new InputStreamReader(java.lang.System.in);
