Since Java 6 there is first-class support for reading passwords on the command line #47

Remove password kludge with Java 6's Console's readPassword method.

Example from the API Javadoc:

 Console cons;
 char[] passwd;
 if ((cons = System.console()) != null &&
     (passwd = cons.readPassword("[%s]", "Password:")) != null) {
     ...
     java.util.Arrays.fill(passwd, ' ');
 }
