Redirecting std.* to a file Follow

System.setOut and System.setErr

I wish it were that simple :)) No, these will not work because debugging for the core classes is initialized way before my classes get loaded. I really need to be able to redirect IDEA's console stream to a file.

Irida EAP builds have new feature that limits amount of the output in the
IDEA console. Check out Settings|General|Use cyclic buffer...

And? Do any of the core classes cache System.out or System.err?

I redirect System.out and System.err to two jtextareas and it works while
running and debugging, i.e: no output in idea console, all output goes to
the textareas. Haven't tried writing to a file, but there should be no difference.

That's the only explanation of why it does't work I can think of

I'm not suggesting that setErr and setOut are broken. I'm merely saying that they don't work in my particular situation.

Your situation is very different than mine then :) Just tested running my
program with -Djava.security.debug=all and all the security output goes to
the redirected System.err.

As all the security events that I see in the redirected System.err are about
opening jars, this isn't a very extensive test :)
