I just found my comment at that bug that the ui properties for nimbus are
stored in the "skin.laf" and the "echoChar" is missed there. This is the reason
why the UIDefaults table is small in Nimbus, unlike Metal where we have a long
list of properties. Take a look to the `NimbusDefaults.java` which is generated
during the build it contains all the props, and it is a place where I think we
should update the echoChar.
