Re: read password from console
Thanks David and Kevin, I tried System.console() in the code. The mystery is it could work in clojure repl, but System.console() will return null if I put everything into jar package. Per the spec, system.console could return null. I don't quite understand why the two cases are different.

read password from console
Hi, When I wrote a utility in clojure, I found I cannot find a way to read password from console. I use read-line for username, but would like not to print the password on the console when reading password. Any hints?

Re: read password from console
I truly hope you find something better than: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Security/pwordmask/ One - not so portable way, would be sending an \033]8m - invisible char to the console beforehand ? /Kevin On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 10:26 AM, Stanley Cai stanley.w@gmail.com wrote: Hi, When I wrote a utility in clojure, I found I cannot find a way to read password from console.
