It is handled in SystemLogHandler. For example usage, look at the StandardWrapper and the calls it makes to SystemLogHandler. For how it is set up, look at the Embedded class. > So I would tread lightly if wanting to use swallowOutput; I'm not convinced > that it is working perfectly. I think I know what is going on.
