ZK RIA framework is becoming more and more popular framework these days. Most of the folks are beginning to use it, without prior knowledge of JSP, servlets and JavaScripts. Honestly, with ZK you might not even need to know anything about these.
What about Maven with ZK? ZK authors did a good job, making it available through their's Maven repository. Usually, beginners use ZK Studio plugin for Eclpise to automatically setup fresh ZK project. Unfortunately, when using Maven, you must manually set your project to use ZK. This procedure might be confusing for users who are not very experienced with Maven and servlets.
