3.0 Beta 1: Project JDBC Connection displays password in plain text.

When configuring a JDBC connection in a Project, the Database Configuration Wizard has the password field masked, but the Connection String property will show the entered password in plain text.

This is probably not a bug but an inconsistency. Why mask the password input field when the password will be clearly visible in the property?

My company does not allow plain text passwords to be stored, so I got around this in 2.5 with a credentials dialog that would ask for username and password and then store the values in project-level variables created via metaClass.
