System.out.println into a TableViewer [message #1474]

Hi all,
is it possible to automatically redirect evetything is actually written
with System.out.println into a tableviewer?
I have an application where there are println calls in a lot of places and
I don't really know how to see all the messages in the GUI without
modifing all the code :(
Thanks!

Hi

You can redirect the standard streams with System.setOut(PrintStream) &
System.setErr(PrintStream).

A research on Google with terms "redirect system.out" will give good
hints on how to do that.

Luca,

Using a TableViewer would probably not a very good UI - if you just need to
see it inside of an Eclipse application instead of in the console, I would
look into using TextViewer from org.eclipse.jface.text.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't really need a TableViewer, I just mentioned that because I created
a simple RCP application with a sample view, and the wizard created a
TableViewer; however I can replace it with a TextViewer as you suggested.
I'm actually trying to reassign the output stream to the text of the
control..
Thanks to both of you for the hints.

I think I made it work..
But the TableViewer gave me the possibility to add an icon at the
beginning of each entry, while the TextViewer does not (if I'm right).
I've taken a look at the ListViewer and neither does it do it.
Hence I returned to the TableViewer.. have I made the best choice?

It depends - if you can live with every line being the same height, and no
wrapping, then a TableViewer might work. I could imagine it being a good fit
when the messages written out to System.out are of a pretty regular
structure.
