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.

use JPasswordField class and selEchoChar method.
