Trying to write a JPanel logging handler

Greetings,

With a strike on, I hope I am not being a scab by posting here? :(

I am trying to make a bean that is both a javax.swing.JPanel and a java.util.logging.Handler. (so that some logging messages can automatically be written to the gui) I want the bean to extend the JPanel, so that I can work with it graphically in design mode. But the logger needs access to the Handler implementation so that messages can be logged.

The only thing I've come up with is implementing the Handler as an interface and duplicate all of its methods.

Seems like there should be a better way?

Thanks,
