Wonder also supports frameworks bundled as JAR. Believe me, I use Jar
frameworks for all my projects. I have some problems loading webserver
resources during development. But that is not your problem yet. :)

If you are downloading Wonder from that URL, it probably means you are
using Ant to build your projects. So, the question is: why do you want
to use frameworks packaged as JARs instead of standard framework
bundles?
If you want to use Maven to build your projects you should not
download Wonder libraries this way. You must add the libraries to your
Maven local repository. The best way to accomplish this task is
downloading the Wonder source code and building with Maven in your
local machine.

OK. So, why change to Jar if it does work as standard framework?

Probably something wrong in your classpath or something wrong with the
Jar you have added.

This is fine. "con" means container and can have zero to n Jars
inside. "lib" is a solo Jar reference.

In short, use standard framework bundles if you plan to build your
projects with Ant. Use Jar frameworks if you want to manage your
projects with Maven.
