The build should create the application package file
`myapexapp/target/myapexapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.apa`. This application package can
then be used to launch example application via **dtCli**, or other visual
management tools. When running, this application will generate a stream of
random numbers and print them out, each prefixed by the string `hello world:`.

Yes, I tried downloading master.zip, unpacking and setting the environment
variable locally within the IDE as well as on the console on Windows 10.
Describing how to set the environment variable globally is different in
different versions of Windows and covering all variants would introduce too
much verbiage into the document. There are tons of web pages that show how to
do it, I just picked one.
