Best pretty-printing library for Java? [closed]

What is the single best pretty-printing library for Java? I mean a library for printing formatted output with indentation, break hints, etc., not a library for beautifying/re-formatting Java code itself. Ideally, the library would "play nice" with System.out.println and friends.

For an idea of what I'm looking for, see OCaml's Format module, particularly Format.fprintf.

[UPDATE] I am not looking for a console windowing library. A pretty-printing library allows you to define methods for formatting arbitrary values such that indentation is preserved and line breaks are chosen at sensible locations. Such libraries exist for Haskell, Standard ML, OCaml, F#, and Scheme. The XTC library provides some of this functionality in xtc.tree.Printer, but it is not nearly as flexible as the libraries in other languages.
