Add better error handling if Hidapi fails #26

Closed gary-rowe closed 9 years ago

gary-rowe commented 9 years ago

User feedback from the MultiBit HD project (see Issue 673) indicates that hid4java is not handling/informing downstream callers of a failure.

gary-rowe commented 9 years ago

I opted to use an early fail fast through the init() method to ensure the library load operation occurs correctly, or throws a runtime exception in case of any problems.

Ready for review and close.
