How about something like this instead:

public void addPasswordField(String label, String default) {
        addStringField(label,default);
        TextField tf = (TextField)stringField.elementAt(stringField.size()-1);
        tf.setEchoChar('*');
}

BTW I would vote against changing GenericDialog: It is just not meant to
handle dialogs independent from image processing. Besides, I don't think
it is a kludge to extend GenericDialog to your needs by inheriting it.
