I have looked online and all of the tutorials / questions have pointed me to this. I can't see why this isn't working. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

import java.util.*;

public class test {
    static Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String textEntered = userInput.next();
        if (textEntered == "hello") {
            System.out.println("Hello to you too!");
        }
    }
}

I enter "hello" but nothing is printed. Also I have tried next() and nextLine();
