Thread: get console to work

Hi, in the eclipse console i get the output from line 11 saying "No console".
My question is, what can i do to get the console to work?

import java.io.Console;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.io.IOException;
 
public class Password {
 
    public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
 
        Console c = System.console();
        if (c == null) {
            System.err.println("No console.");
            System.exit(1);
        }
 
        String login = c.readLine("Enter your login: ");
        char [] oldPassword = c.readPassword("Enter your old password: ");
 
        if (verify(login, oldPassword)) {
            boolean noMatch;
            do {
                char [] newPassword1 =
                    c.readPassword("Enter your new password: ");
                char [] newPassword2 =
                    c.readPassword("Enter new password again: ");
                noMatch = ! Arrays.equals(newPassword1, newPassword2);
                if (noMatch) {
                    c.format("Passwords don't match. Try again.%n");
                } else {
                    change(login, newPassword1);
                    c.format("Password for %s changed.%n", login);
                }
                Arrays.fill(newPassword1, ' ');
                Arrays.fill(newPassword2, ' ');
            } while (noMatch);
        }
 
        Arrays.fill(oldPassword, ' ');
 
    }
 
    //Dummy change method.
    static boolean verify(String login, char[] password) {
        // this method always returns true in this example.
        // modify this method to verify password according to your rules.
        return true;
    }
 
    //Dummy change method.
    static void change(String login, char[] password) {
        // modify this method to change password according to your rules.
    }
}

Ok scanner is nice, althought i'm still intrested to get the console to work.
Also the code above (in my first post) is no what i needed, i need it for something else, but since i had a console problem i looked for other console examples and i just posted one of them that wasn't working here.
