BasicPasswordFieldUI

public class BasicPasswordFieldUI extends BasicTextFieldUI
Provides the Windows look and feel for a password field. The only difference from the standard text field is that the view of the text is simply a string of the echo character as specified in JPasswordField, rather than the real text contained in the field.
