title: how to display characters in jPasswordField rather than * sign in java?
body: <p>I am working with <code>jPasswordField</code> in java in order to make a log in system. </p>
  
  <p>I have used <code>jTextField</code> for name input and <code>jPasswordField</code> for password. I want to create an option of "Show Characters" in my program that may allow the user to view the characters he has typed in passwordfield.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>retrieving data from password field </li>
  <li>converting it into string</li>
  <li>displaying that string in passwordfield using .setText() method</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But this did not work, as it displays everything in esteric (<code>*****</code>) form.
  Please help...</p>
