Windows 10

Including javamcsapi directly into the JRE or JDK wasn't possible as javamcsapi wouldn't be transferred to new JRE or JDK directories after a Java update.

Instead the Windows PATH is extended to mcsapi's library directory. This way Java is able to access javamcsapi's shared libraries and customer's don't have to specify the java.library.path while executing Java programs relying on javamcsapi.

The setting of the PATH entry can be deactivated in the installer if not needed or required.

For QA:

• run the regression test suite
• execute attached test.jar from the Desktop via java -jar test.jar and verify that the program doesn't exit with an error message that dependent shared libraries aren't found.

mcsapi can only be used on 64Bit systems. Therefore, please test with a 64Bit Windows.

I opened MCOL-1865 to check why you were able to install mcsapi on a 32Bit system.
