Redirect System.out.println() to a JTextArea/JTextPane?

[Minh Nam]

Guys, I am wondering to to redirect all output of the System.out.println() to a JTextArea/JTextPane?

Thanks.

static logStdErr(String s){
System.err.println(s);
myTextPane.setText( myTextPane.getText() + s);

}

PrintStream oldOut = System.out;
PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(new OutputStream()
{
    // override write methods to write to the JTextArea / JTextPane
});
System.setOut(printStream);

Note that you will need to store the old version of System.out (line 1 in my example), or you will never be able to reset it to the default again.
