One of the way you can do it by setting the System OutputStream to a PipedOutputStream and connect that to a PipedInputStream that you read from to add text to your component, E.g

PipedOutputStream pOut = new PipedOutputStream();   
System.setOut(new PrintStream(pOut));   
PipedInputStream pIn = new PipedInputStream(pOut);  
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pIn));
