Class MessageConsoleStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable

public class MessageConsoleStream extends IOConsoleOutputStream
Used to write messages to a message console. A message console may have more than one stream connected to it. Each stream may be displayed in a different color.

Instances are created via a MessageConsole.

Clients should avoid writing large amounts of output to this stream in the UI thread. The console needs to process the output in the UI thread and if the client hogs the UI thread writing output to the console, the console will not be able to process the output.

Since 3.1, this class extends IOConsoleOutputStream.

Since:
3.0
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
Restriction:
This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.
