Kevan Miller commented on GERONIMO-2216:
----------------------------------------

Well, it's kind of funky... Not 100% pure java (dynamically extracts a dll and 
loads it on windows machines). Supported platforms on their website says:

JLine should work on any Windows system, or any minimally compliant POSIX 
system (includling Linux and Macintosh OS X).

I have to assume that there are some environments/JRE's where this might not 
work...

> Use JLine API to get password interactivly when using shutdown

> Sometimes when interactively entering a password for shutdown, if the 
> password is typed too fast, some of the chars are visible for a brief period.
> JLine provides the ability to mask the input as it is read (or omit it all 
> together):
