How to read password from Domino Java console?

Hello,

we have an Extension Manager AddIn that interactively asks the user for the server password at startup if a password is set. We use the EM_GETPASSWORD extension manager ID and getch() to read the server password from the domino server console. We  then store the password somewhere hidden and encrypted to pass it on the next Domino startup.
Using this functionality of our product customers can set a password for the server id and can still (automatically) reboot Domino without reentering the password.

This functionality does not work in combination with the Domino Java Console. The Extension Manager AddIn gets the EM_GETPASSWORD call however it cannot read the password
from the Java Console using getch(). Is there a way to receive the user's password input from the Java Console in the Extension Manager Addin?

Thanks in advance for your help
