We introduced a demo data generator in the 5.12 release. You can just take that bean and add it to your config: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti/tree/master/modules/activiti-rest/src/main/java/org/activiti/rest/demo

Thank you for the answer. At creation time of the datatables it might be a good idea to also create a user (aka superuser or admin), so that you can use the REST-API after installation. A kermit/kermit might help here.

Is it possible to ship the neccessary data for the first login-user in the next version?

Yes, good point. Although that might conflict with existing users created by Explorer of course.
But I'll add it, yes!
