Hiding password in Java command line program
 
When entering input to a Java command line program, is it possible/easy to mask the input with asterisks?

This is usually not possible with pure Java, but achievable with some native code depending on platforms.
See Jline for an implementation:

I found this on the Java website. I looks a bit OTT/messy for the simple program I'm writing, so I'll give it a miss this time.
