If you were using Spring Boot (you mentioned that you're working with an old application, so you probably aren't but it might be of use to others), then you could use org.springframework.boot.test.rule.OutputCapture in the following manner:

@Rule
public OutputCapture outputCapture = new OutputCapture();

@Test
public void out() {
    System.out.print("hello");
    assertEquals(outputCapture.toString(), "hello");
}
