Hello all,
 
I have created some targets that run <sql> tasks and for determing the user 
name & password information to use (for the DB login) I use the <input> task, 
i.e.
 
<target name="update_build">
     <input addproperty="db.user.name" message="What is your database name"/>
     <input addproperty="db.password" message="What is your database password"/>
     <sql>
          .
          .
          .
     </sql>
</target>
 
It would be great to have an optional attribute of the <input> task, let's say 
called passwordChar, that if set would control which character(s) to display 
instead of echoing the keyboard input.  So you could use
     <input addproperty="db.password" passwordChar="*" message="What is your 
database password"/>
 
and all that would show up as the user types would a series of * (astericks)...
 
What do you guys think??
