Sorry, but I am TOTALLY SPENT! after spending the entire day tracking down random issue and non existent jars from the http://docs.zkoss.org/wiki/DB_Form_Builder_Inside_Out example.

While I strictly use Maven to gather all dependencies, these examples make massive assumptions, and do not tell you that you can NOT find the jars on your download page or Maven.

So after hours of trying to get the JARs I needed :-(

I find that zkspring-1.1.0.jar is basically WRONG as far as I can see.
1. in the jar from the download page, zkspring.xsd does NOT contain (among MANY other items):

<xs:import namespace="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" />
<!-- ZK Component Lookup and ZK scopes-->
<xs:element name="zk-config">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>Used to configure ZK such as ZK specific scopes('desktop', 'page', and 'execution') and others.
</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
</xs:element>

Which is making <zksp:zk-config /> FAIL on startup.!!!!!

Then, after long hard tracing to find that, I downloaded the src zip to replace the xsd and recompile, and the ant build does not seem to work and I really have not the time to track down yet another build issue. Did not work... more wasted time.

The next thing was, I used the COPIED jars from the Suite tool (which I do not want to do because they are not mavenized jars... i.e no version names). But, noticed that they are TOTALLY different than what you have in the DL section....

Can we somehow coordinate these jars?

Am I the only person that is having this issue?
