How to display console in GUI for java

Question

Is there a possible way to attach the console to a GUI so that the user will be able to enter commands into the console from the GUI?

As long as the program is launched from the console, it can read and write from/to the console. There's nothing that makes a Java program "GUI" or "Console" except for the code.

If you want to always have a console regardless of how the program is launched, you could just code a frame to behave as one.

I made changes to my question. I want to enter the console command inside the GUI.

for example. the program prompts the user to enter in two values into the console. the program then prints out the two values added together and prompts the user if s/he wants to do it again. i want to do all of this within the gui.
