Configure ZK Binary Distribution

In ZK/ZK Packages of Eclipse preference page (select the menu [Window]/[Preference]), you can select default package on the list of "Installed ZKs" for a ZK web application you will create later. ZK Studio will automatically choose the latest version of those imported ZK Packages as the default package. You can remove unwanted ZK package by selecting the row in ZK Package then click Remove.
