Sure, redirect standard output to PrintStream subclass that does the logging for you: this should get you started...

        // Redirect output
        PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(new StdoutStderrStream(
            new ByteArrayOutputStream()));
        savedStdout = System.out;
        savedStderr = System.err;
        System.setOut(ps);
        System.setErr(ps);



    private class StdoutStderrStream extends FilterOutputStream {
        public StdoutStderrStream(OutputStream s) {
            super(s);
        }
        public void write(byte b[]) throws IOException {
            // log here in threadsafe manner
        }
        public void write(byte b[], int off, int len) throws IOException {
            // log here in threadsafe manner
        }
    }

Enjoy!
