An application could call clearPassword() for the purpose, but it would be nice to cleanup the buffer as well if clearPassword() was not called in an application. And, if the setPassword() get called multiple times, the clearPassword() should also be called the same times if not relying on finalization. It could be fragile in practice.

More of a FYI - the CheckCleanerBound test failed on one of the test setups. So I've created https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8285785 to track that failure.
