how to hide console input in eclipse in java using console input from user

Question

System.out.println("please enter id ");
Console console = System.console();
char[] password = console.readPassword("Enter password");  
Arrays.fill(password, ' ');

I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException , I don't know how to get rid of this exception.

Why are you using fill() to replace all chars in password with blanks? — avk, Mar 22 '15 at 08:04

Sorry to be bearer of the bad news but that's an Eclipse bug which still hasn't been resolved yet. You can read all about it here Also the answer by Vijay Shankar in this post seems to be a workaround for this.
