Redirect System.in to swing component

Question

Hey guys I am making a terminal application using Swing and Apache Commons. I was able to redirect System.out and System.err to a JTextArea

Answer 1

You need to create your own implementation of an InputStream that takes its input from whatever Swing component you want… basically have a buffer that you copy text to from your Swing component and that serves as a source for the InputStream (which of course needs to block if no input is available).
