there isn't one. The catch is you can't count on every platform to
support such a beast. Some just have line mode console input.

You can simulate one with a TextField to enter your data into
character by character.

There is no direct support for getch(). If it is a must, you could try
JNI. Here is link for java bug, you may find some alternatives in that
link.
