Why does the Java JDK not set its own path after installation on Windows?

Question

Problem:

After installing Java SE version 14.0.1 I tried to run the command java in CMD because I wanted to check if everything works as it should, but an error occurred because CMD could not find what I wanted.

I checked the system environment variable to see if the path for the Java JDK was set, but no, it was not set.

Question:

Why was the path not set by the Java JDK after installing Java SE 14.0.1?

Oh no, now you have to set it manually. – akuzminykh Jul 09 '20 at 19:39 — akuzminykh, Jul 09 '20 at 19:39

It depens on the installator provider by the combianation of vendor and version. As far as I know the AdoptOpenJDK add the PATH variable
