/dist/src

This directory holds the source codes in JAR format. These JAR files are used for debugging in IDE, such as Eclipse and NetBeans. You cannot build the binary libraries from these. Rather, download and uncompress zk-src-5.0.5.tar.gz.

/dist/xsd

This directory holds the XSD files that might be useful to develop ZK applications.

/dist/WEB-INF

This directory holds the sample configuration file (web.xml and portlet.xml) and the TLD files. These TLD files are part of JAR files so they are loaded automatically. We put them here mainly for your reference only.
