awt use to enable you to set an echo character to be used to replace characters typed by the user. I use to set this property often but now im pretty sure that you can use the JPasswordField which is a subclass of JTextField. "*" is the default echo character.
From what i remember there is no constructor that enables you to set the echo character. There is only an empty constructor, one that takes a string, one that takes an integer specifing the number of colums and one that takes bolth as arguements. So you would have to use setechoChar(char c) anyway. :rolleyes: :D

use JPasswordField class and selEchoChar method.
