I want to combine a console application with a GUI in netbeans.I tried to do it using a jButton.I want to get the output of

the console application into a jTextArea.There is a function called private static void printBytes(byte[] data, String

name)in the console application.when calling that function have to do as follow.
printBytes(activeKey,"After permuted choice 1 table- Active key:");
For this I have to pass the 2nd parameter to the text box.I created an object of the jTextArea called ta and gave ;
printBytes(activeKey,ta.append("After permuted choice 1 table- Active key:"));
It gave an error called cannot convert void type into string.
Then I tried as follow.
String a="After permuted choice 1 table- Active key:"
printBytes(activeKey,ta.getText(a));
It also didn't work.
Someone please tell me how to do it.What i want to do is somehow connect my console application to GUI and getting the

output on the GUI.

It gave an error called cannot convert void type into string.

Have a closer look at that error message - it should give you the exact line number where it happens. Then look at that line and find out which variable is null.
