8029904: Remove com.sun.security.auth.callback.DialogCallbackHandler

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Alan,

in case you need to make a second revision, I would sneak in the removal  
of the TextCallbackHandler import in NoQuoteParams. It seems not to be  
used similiar to the DialogCallback.

Another nit, For the Login.java I would add the password to the  
constructor of $PasswordCallbackHandler, this inner class access to  
password field is quite confusing.

(I guess one could file a cleanup RFE for both issues instead as well).

Gruss
Bernd
