title: Java, Junit - Capture the standard input / Output for use in a unit test
body: <p>I'm writing integration tests using JUnit to automate the testing of a console based application. The application is homework but this part isn't the homework. I want to automate these tests to be more productive -- I don't want to have to go back and retest already tested parts of the application.  (Standard reasons to use Unit tests)</p>
  
  <p>Anyway, I can't figure out or find an article on capturing the output so that I can do <code>assertEquals</code> on it nor providing automated input. I don't care if the output/input goes to the console/output pane. I only need to have the test execute and verify the the output is what is expected given the input. </p>
  
  <p>Anyone have an article or code to help out with this.</p>
