RE: Appending to a JOptionPane

[Eric George]

You can include a JTextArea *within* the JOptionPane.  Then you could
have the JTextAreaAppender writing to a JTextArea that is displayed on
the option pane.  It takes a little fiddling to make it look right
(scroll bars, etc), but it is possible.

The trick is that whenever a JOptionPane constructor (or factory method)
calls for a "message", you can actually pass a Swing component to it. 
In your case, you would pass the JTextArea that the appender is
associated with as the message parameter.

    AppenderSkeleton or implement Appender).  I don't  believe JOptionPane does
    either.  So, to answer your question directly, no.

    I know it is possible to add a JTextAreaAppender and append to a JTextArea,
    but is it possible to append to a JOptionPane even though the JOptionPane
    class does not have an append method as the JTextArea class does.
    
    Thanks,
