Is it possible to overide System.out.println()....

Question

Hi all,
I have a program which uses System.out.println() a lot. As the whole program needed to be in GUI form, I have to abbandon the console window and print all my outputs to a special text pane which I have already created and tested.
My problem is, is there a way for me to keep my System.out.println() statements as they are and print the outputs to my text pane instead of printing it to the console?
Can I use some kind of overriding of System.out.println()? If so can anybody tell me how to do it?
Thank you all in advance

Hi again guys,
I managed to get the system.out working. Thanks again. But I was trying to do the same to system.in using a class that inherits from InputStream and failed, can you help me out again pliz.
following is a simplified version of the code. problem I have is that the input I get on readButton click(see the code) is always -1. The code doesn't wait for user input . How can I correct this. please help Thanx
public class Main() implements ActionListener
    JTextPane textPane;
    JButton readButton;
    public Main()
            this.initGUI();
            Console myConsole = new Console(this.textPane);
            System.setIn(new myInputStream(myConsole));
    private void initGUI()
           this.textPane = new JTextPane();
           this.readButton = new readButton();
           this.readButton.AddActionListener(this);
            //code to create the GUI and show the textPane
           //follows
     public void ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
             try
                         int keyCode = System.in.read();
                 }Catch(Exception e)
             System.out.println("Pressed Key Code is " + keyCode);          
     public static void main(String[] args)
               new Main();
public class Console extends KeyListener
     JTextPane textPane;
     int pressedKey = -1;
     public console(JTextPane textPane)
             this.textPane = textPane;
             this.textPane.addKeyListener(this);
    public void keypressed(KeyEvent e)
            this.pressedKey = e.getKeyCode();
   public int read()
           return this.pressedKey;
public class myInputStream extends InputStream
            Console console;
            public myInputStream(Console console)
                   this.console = console;
            public int read()
                   return this.console.read();
}
