logging data using log4j into a TextArea is there an easy way to do this

Question

I am logging messages via log 4 j logger and I want to somehow get this stream of data and display it in a JTextArea for display. Is there any easy way to do this?

thanks you

you may want to write your own/custom appender, have a look at this [question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6072389/how-to-create-a-own-appender-in-log4j) — A4L, Mar 20 '13 at 18:31

Never tried it myself, but most straight-forward way would be to implement org.apache.log4j.Appender, so your implementation's constructor would accept instance of GUI object where you want to show log entries.
