Beginner Java Programming - scanner, methods, boolean, for loops, if/else loops.

I would like to complete a program that displays the first "N" prime numbers. In other words, I'd like my program to list the first "N" prime numbers a user inputs. It should look like this:

Welcome to the list of N prime numbers program! =============================================== Please enter the value of N (positive integer): 6

First 6 prime numbers are: 2 3 5 7 11 13

------------------------Here is my current code and I am getting nowhere:-------------------------------------

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Assignment

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

System.out.println("Welcome to the list of N prime numbers program!");

equalSigns(52);

System.out.println(" Please enter the value of N (positive integer):");

Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);

int positiveInt=input.nextInt();

if (positiveInt >= 1)

{

System.out.println("The first " + positiveInt + " prime numbers are:");

}

int count;

for (count = 1; count<= positiveInt; count++ )

{

System.out.println(count);

}

}

public static boolean isPrime(int number)

{

Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);

int positiveInt=input.nextInt();

positiveInt = number;

int upperLimit;

if(number <2)

return false;

upperLimit = (number/2);

System.out.println("primes:" + number);

for(int i =2; i <=upperLimit; i++)

{

if(number%i ==0)

{

return false;

}

}

return true;

}

public static void equalSigns(int n)

{

for( int i=1; i<=n; i++)

{

System.out.print("=");

}

}

}

Please help ! Thank you.
