[Exist-development] Problem with setup jar for eXist 4.4.0

[Christian W. <cwi...@gm...>]

Hi there,

I just used the newest stable version to install eXist on Ubuntu 16.04.  
I used the file eXist-db-setup-4.4.0.jar available from the eXist 
homepage. During installation, I entered a password for admin and a data 
directory different from the one suggested by the installer.

When I started eXist (using the desktop icon provided by the installer) 
and inspected the values for the data directory, I found that it had in 
fact not been set.  Setting it through the tray icon did work.  I also 
found that the admin password had not been set.  This caused me a bit of 
a headache and several installer attempts, until I realized that it has 
not been set and was still empty.

I hope this feedback helps to improve the installing experience for 
future users.

All the best,

Christian
