On Intel Macs only, Penrose Studio can't connect to Penrose Server (unless the server has a blank admin password).

 The password field in the 'Connect to Penrose Server' dialog is non-enterable for both creating a new connection and editing an existing one.  The problem is not present on G5 Macs.  It was present in Penrose Studio 1.0.5 (with MacOSX 10.4.7) and is still present in Penrose Studio 1.1.2 (with MacOSX 10.4.8).

I'm running an Intel MacBook Pro- I've found that though the field does not reflect keystrokes (asterisks), though the password is actually recorded and submittable.

That's what I get for last minute editing. That comment should have been:

Noted. It only happens on Macos X platform.

password doesn't display "******". Instead it display blank. It should be displaying **** and when you type, it should also replace the character that you type with a "*"

this also occurs in this dialog box as well

Got it. First thought is that this could be possible a bug on SWT implementation. When creating the password text field this way:

passwordText = new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER | SWT.PASSWORD);

by using the SWT.PASSWORD flag, SWT renders the "echo char" as a special character (that is a pretty circle on Win and Linux) but for some reason on one specific build of SWT for Mac Intel it doesnt render properly. 

So one possible workaround is to remove SWT.PASSWORD and set the echo char yourself using a common character like asterisk:

passwordText = new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER); //removed SWT.PASSWORD buggy flag
passwordText.setEchoChar('*'); //hard-coding the echo char

I did this replacement in all the 6 occurrences (have to get a better idea of a 7th occurrence on JDBCConnectionWizardPage though, not touched). Now we will not have the pretty circle, but a working asterisk.
It runs flawless here, but as I'm using Linux, and it was working before, i cant be 100% sure. 
Its commited on 1.2 branch. Can anyone with a mac test it for me before I close this issue?
