Textfield output redirecting

[Olivier Merigon]

Hi,

I'am looking for a set of class that can be used to redirect standard
output and standard input to a Text field like composant.
Example:
When I do a System.out.println("test"), I want the text to be displyed in a
text field composant instead of bieng displayed in the console.

I am sure a lot of people have already done that? so I was wondering if
somebody can give me a link to find ready to use classes that do the job.

Thanks in advance,


Olivier
