I'm guessing you simply want to save the contents of the console screen.

That my friend is easy, and has been here awhile. The Java console is just a window that contains the output of System.out and System.err, in addition to mirroring the System.in input typed into the console by a user.

To save the console, simply make your own streams and redirect the System.out and System.err streams to yours. Then simply write the buffers to disk or to a network server, etc.

I'm not sure how much the error stream is really used - so I'd say it's safe to skip the System.err stream.

every time you do}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}the System.err is used

Thanks for your suggetion, but sometimes it is pretty difficult add my own stream into a exiting large project, especially the source of some jar file are not available......

Also is there any suggestion on how to redirect the System.out and System.err for a web start app......

Another quick question, would you please tell me how i can enlarge the console buffer please?......

Thx in advance
