perfecting a menu class

[gcampton]

So I have perfected in my mind a couple of menu utilities I have created. But there's one that I am wanting to have the same output as others, but having difficulty coding. The bottom method cMenu in MenuUtils.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can validate the input much like I have done with iMenu?
Also was wondering if I should make these static?

MenuTest.java

public class MenuTest
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      String[] test = new String[]{ "pizza","pie","beer","scotch" };
      String myMenu="This is a cute Menu";
      int choice;

      MenuUtils mu = new MenuUtils();

      choice = mu.iMenu(myMenu,test);

   }
}

MenuUtils.java

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MenuUtils
{
   // prints menu
   public void printMenu(String menuText, String[] menuOptions)
   {
      // print title
      System.out.printf("*****%s*****\n", menuText);

      // print options
      for ( int i=0; i<menuOptions.length; i++ )
         System.out.printf("**\t%d)  %s\n", i+1, menuOptions[i]);

      // print number of stars
      for ( int j=0; j<menuText.length(); j++ )
         System.out.printf("*");
      System.out.printf("**********\n");
      System.out.printf("->: ");
   }

   // validate options
   public int iMenu ( String menuText, String[] menuOptions )
   { 
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      int choice;
      printMenu ( menuText, menuOptions );
      do
      {
         do
         {
            if (!(input.hasNextInt()))
            {
               System.out.printf("Invalid OPTION, Please enter number in menu: ");
               input.nextLine();
            }
         }
         while (!( input.hasNextInt())); // do while not int
         choice = input.nextInt();

         if ((choice<1) || (choice>menuOptions.length))
         {
            System.out.printf("invalid NUMBER, Please enter a number in menu: ");
            input.nextLine();
         }
      }
      while ((choice<1) || (choice>menuOptions.length)); // do while not in range
      return choice;
   }

   // same as above menu only using char
   public char cMenu ( String menuText, String[] menuOptions )
   {
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      char choice;
      
      printMenu(menuText, menuOptions);
      choice = (input.next().charAt(0));
      return choice;
   }

}

output is a simple menu:

*****This is a cute Menu*****
**   1) pizza
**   2) pie
**   3) beer
**   4) scotch
************************
->:  dfgdfg
Invalid OPTION, Please enter number in menu: dfgbfe 3w4r sd32
Invalid OPTION, Please enter number in menu: 4591635
Invalid NUMBER, Please enter number in menu: 3

Process complete.

EDIT: I was thinking I might be able to use: public String hasNext(Pattern pattern)
But there's no way of telling how many menu items I might receive, really I would want to be able to temporarily convert menu choices to ints, validate, then return the given char. But I can't see how this would work.

The logic is easy enough, While chars are not in range of menuOptions, keep asking for input.

figured it out. :D
