JDK 6 for Mac doesn't have Console support?

I just downloaded and installed JDK6 form here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1856). But look like there isn't the lib java.io.Console since the code "import java.io.Console;" will cause a compiler error, "cannot find symbol". That's strange.

Tested on a Linux box and it's good. So I suppose this "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 1 adds support for Java SE 6" (This update provides Java SE 6 version 1.6.0_05.) is not a full version. If it's tailored, how could it comply with the license? Maybe I missed something here...
