Perhaps a bit off the swing topic, but I wonder if it is possible to 
obtain direct keyboard character/signal input from the console. 
System.in only reads lines of text and echoes all characters. For a 
commandline utility I need to perform password input, so to echo only 
"*" instead of the text. - Can somebody know a solution or can give me 
directions? Thanks!
