Sensitive Password Entry in Console using Java

Dear Reader,
When you need an application where some Password is required to start the application and that need 
to be entered in Console (Unix OS/Windows OS) manually Eg: Starting Master HSM server for Card Encryption/Decryption, 
Starting Unix based critical applications, you don't want to show either * or text while typing password. This may 
cause a shoulder surfing.

In Java you can do this using Below API, I have tested this Windows and UNIX. Running this in Eclipse will throw Exception.
Hence Run in Command Prompt.

import java.io.Console;
public class HSMPassword {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char[] pass ;
        Console console = System.console();
        System.out.println("Reading Password From Console, Please Press Enter after typing your password.");
        pass = console.readPassword("");
        String slotPIN = new String(pass);
        System.out.println("Password Entered is: "+slotPIN);
    }
}
