Hi Ken,

Assuming you are talking about ImageJ2's Console window, I post a gist
illustrating how to do it here:

    https://gist.github.com/ctrueden/29355778db5343b08266dba8d456a790

Just note that doing this will explicitly tie you to an AWT/Swing UI
scenario (won't work headless or with alternative UIs).

Regards,
Curtis
