I down loaded cq-quickstart-5.5.0-20120220 it is a zip file. When I unzip it it's a folder. It is not in a jar file format. it's in a folder format. What must I do to get .jar format cq-quickstart-5.5.0-20120220.jar???

 

Is there a reason you want to use such an old version ?

Typically you would download software from the Adobe license site using your registered account, is that what you are doing ?

I logged in and went here:

1) Download   
  Download Adobe CQ5 from the location below. Save it into a new folder of your choice.Ensure, that a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 is available on your computer and the JAVA_HOME environment variable references the JRE home directory. If you are not sure please download and install from Oracle. Particularly out-of-the-box Windows installations do not have Java installed. 
  
     CQ 5.5 - Quickstart JAR (Release Version, Load 25b - Feb 20, 2012)      229543 Kb  
     CQ 5.5 - Application Server WAR (Release Version, Load 25b - Feb 20, 2012)      216700 Kb

Then I clicked CQ 5.5 - Quickstart JAR (Release Version, Loadb - Feb 20, 2012) 229543 Kb and I downloaded the file but it was a zipped file and it contained the file structure:

\com

\gui

\META-INF

/org

\quickstart

\static

GetProcessID.class

I've attached the zip file that contains the cq5 file I downloaded and opened up. Can you explain to me where I'm going wrong?

as goffinf suggest go with latest one. If you have daycare access aem 5.5 can be downloaded from http://daycare.day.com/home/products/cq_wcm/cq55.html

For aem 6 you shold use lws and it will be jar file only..
