TextField is for graphics mode only, there is no way to enter a password
with text only mode, such as working on a dumb terminal.

I assume that Java is potentially a programming language for everything, this
feature is defintely needed in basic JAVA API.

I was trying to use Java on an internet application, in the application getting user's
password is needed, but I could not find any methods in JAVA's API to do it.
