Petr Sickboy Hejl commented on GERONIMO-478:
--------------------------------------------

I made some experimets and I suppose there exist only two possible solutions for this.
1) native (which I generaly don't like in java)
2) console echo rewriting presented in posted patch

Problem is that, there is no way how to disable console echo (or manipulate it) from java :(

> When no password is specified on the command line the deployer prompts the user for one.
> When this is being entered it is echoed onto the screen.
> On a windows machine the value entered is also displayed if up-arrow is pressed when being prompted.
