Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Actually my problem is how to achieve Command-Line
Input masking. For AWT/Swing application, password
masking is not an issue as package provides class and
method to mask the password.
So, would you please suggest me how to mask password
(similar to Unix approach to login screens, where password
is not echoed on the screen at all).

Thx a ton to Ovi for the help.
here you can find one possible approach:

unfortunately - it is not clean

My example is working in this sense.
... and is the same as the one in the link posted by Venci75
That functionality is currently not supported (without using some JNI) and there is an outstanding RFE for it.

The link posted by Venci75 contains a workaround, but it's not guaranteed to always work.

And besides it's still useful information isn't it?
It explains that the functionality required is currently not supported.

Exactly as I have already mentioned in my previous comment.
