In method `prepareBCP`, the file system should be JRT file system, but we don't need to know actually which file system to be used. We only need to use the same file system separator so that the test can run as expected.

That would be incorrect.  
That system property is for the default file system, and may not be the correct separator for a user-defined file system, as is possible with `java.nio.file.FileSystem`
