There is nothing exactly like that in ImageJ. However, there are a couple
of things:

1) A Console window that displays stdout and stderr output.
2) A Script Interpreter which accepts commands to execute in the active
script language.

You could maybe utilize one of those? If you simply code up a Java API for
your functionality, you can then use it from the Script Interpreter. Then
you won't have to invent your own console or anything like that.

Regards,
Curtis
