Exactly that's correct. You still need this uberjar to work? It may
have issues now that we are using this new directory layout for the
server. I can however create this layout on startup if a path to it is
not specified on the command line. The intersting thing is how to
handle this since the uberjar has everything on in the System
ClassLoader. I have to play with it some more but I can make the
uberjar work again if it does not already. It just seemed as though
many did not like it.

Alex,
sorry, I have forgotten to answer you regarding the uberjar.
I liked the uberjar because it was easy to switch the build/version by
just replacing one single file. So it was easy to reproduce error
reports in JIRA and from the mailing list with the exact version the
user used (and check how "old" the defect is).
You did a great job with the installers, and probably our upcoming users
(especially newbies) will not use the uberjar anymore (but the official
installer downloads) if we have a stable "setup.exe" for most platforms.
Therefore I can live without (i.e. do not any extra work to make it work
just for me!), but if any other reasons speak for the uberjar as well, I
will be happy to keep my lazy style of switching between build versions ...
Greetings, Stefan
