The Create Java DB Database (invoked from right clicking the Java DB node and Create Database..) does *not* hide the new password with asterisks. So, if you type in 'password', you see 'password' and not '********'. The dialog should let you enter it twice (hidden), if in case there is user error. Thanks.
I agree with the reporter that we should use a password field instead of normal textfield for create database dialog. Looks like a NetFIX[1] participant can take on. Does Jiri Rechtacek agree? [1]http://wiki.netbeans.org/NetFIX
I do agree. Please, fix it. Thank you
