System.out.println output to JTextArea

Question

I would like to everytime I call System.out.println to append to a given JTextArea, without having to change all calls to System.out.println... Is this possible?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Versions of Java since 1.5 have System.setOut() which allow you to install your own PrintStream. Just create a simple OutputStream which appends the data it get through write() Then wrap it in a PrintStream and install it.

Answer 2

Well You can do it using the jTextArea.append("Your String") method
