password input task

Hi,

    I'd like to use the input task to ask a user to enter a password, 
but I don't want the password to be displayed on the screen-- is there a 
way to do this?

    Thanks, Jason

In java 1.6 there will be a Console.readPassword which may
be useful for this purpose.

I want to say that this problem was already solved by Ivan Ivanov. I
strongly recommend you reading his article. It could be found in [1] or [2].

 Nope...not possible to do that in a platform-neutral fashion  ;-(
 
P.S. This question has been asked many times before (I know because I was one the "repeat" offenders).  Please check the archives before asking a question :-)
