The easy answer is to use one of the subclasses of
javax.swing.text.EditorKit - all you need to add is the input and output 
Streams and, probably, a JFileChooser pane to control the streams. Or you 
can use JEditPane, which uses EditorKit for its text manipulation.

I've used JEditorPane to write a simple text-mode terminal application in 
Java which did more or less what an X-term Console utility or the 
equivalent Windows terminal emulator does.
