Does Java have an equivalent of c#'s Trace.WriteLine. I'm trying to write trace to console

Question

I want tracing to appear in my java console when I set a non-zero trace level. i.e. Java's equivalent of C#'s

Trace.WriteLine("hello");

Is there anything available like that? Can I get at "deployment.trace" at runtime? Is there an environment variable I can check?

@HyperNeutrino err's go to the console window too. If I could switch them off/on in the console then that would do me. Thanks. — timB33, Nov 03 '17 at 13:03

The answer is already in this link, but to summarize the answer it's like this:

PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("outputfile.txt"));
System.setOut(out);

After the line System.setOut(out); anything will be written in the file instead of the console.
