Unix command output to a TextArea

Question

Hi,
I would like to use the contents of the variable >>line<< to be displayed in a JTextArea in another class within the same package.
Code:
public class HostAction implements ActionListener {
static String line;
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
//monitor the next block of code
try {
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("hostname");
BufferedReader output = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( process.getInputStream() ) );
while ( (HostAction.line = output.readLine()) != null )
{  // start while
System.out.println(HostAction.line);
} //end while
//catch IOException (no input data)
}catch (IOException x) {
//if IOException caught, display this
System.out.println("No Input Data");
Does anyone have a suggestion on how this can be accomplished?
Thanks!
Rusmir.

Answer 1

// in some other class...
JTextArea ta = new JTextArea(HostAction.line);The JTextArea should already exist, but if you have a reference to it, just append using the methods provided by JTextArea.
The above code would create a new JTextArea for every line, which is not likely what you are after.
