Hi Stefan,

I did a similar thing in the Apache DS Configuration Plugin.

Here's the corresponding code:
-----------------------------
        // Password
        toolkit.createLabel( client, "Password:" );
        passwordText = toolkit.createText( client, "" );
        passwordText.setLayoutData( new GridData( SWT.FILL, SWT.NONE, true, false ) );
        passwordText.setEchoChar( '\u2022' );

        // Show Password
        toolkit.createLabel( client, "" );
        showPasswordCheckbox = toolkit.createButton( client, "Show password", SWT.CHECK );
        showPasswordCheckbox.setLayoutData( new GridData( SWT.FILL, SWT.NONE, true, false ) );
        showPasswordCheckbox.setSelection( false );
        showPasswordCheckbox.addSelectionListener( new SelectionAdapter()
        {
            public void widgetSelected( SelectionEvent e )
            {
                if ( showPasswordCheckbox.getSelection() )
                {
                    passwordText.setEchoChar( '\0' );
                }
                else
                {
                    passwordText.setEchoChar( '\u2022' );
                }
            }
        } );
-----------------------------

Maybe it can be helpful for you. ;)
