After repeating the installation processes several times, over two different machines and expending several hours (my weekend included), I still had the response HTTP 404 - /myZK/ when I tried to call the app using “http://localhost:8080/myZK/” in the URL… it was driving me crazy …suddenly I just come up with the idea of using the whole url “http://localhost:8080/myZK/index.zul” and it worked.
I know it is certainly not the way it was supposed to work, and there is probably a problem there but, at least, I can start learning this technology. I imagine the same happens with the demo app. I’ll keep you posted on this.
Hope this save some problems to others as newbie as me.

Definitively a false configuration!
Append the following lines in your web.xml
web.xml
. . .
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<!-- MISCELLANEOUS -->
<!-- ====================================================== -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.zul</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.zhtml</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
. . .
and your http://localhost:8080/myZK/ works.

Terry, thanks!
I just added these lines to the web.xml file and worked the way it was supposed to. Let me tell you that I (and I think most of who are new to ZK) just copy-pasted the web.xml file from the quickstart pdf document that comes with the zk-bin zip bundle; and this information you just give here is not present in that document.
And just for the sake of completeness (because I said I would tell about the demo) I installed the demo file and it worked just fine at the first time… couldn’t be happier. Let’s move to the eclipse and add-ins installation.
Regards,
Alex.
Hi Alex,
welcome to ZK community.
Nice that's it's worked now as you wished,
I don't know it's missing in the sample web.xml, but this is not a zk dependend setting.
It's a normal setting for a web.xml, that the index.htm or index.html is taken as a startpage if no page are addressed in the Url.
In this case just a index.zul or index.zhtml. That's all.
Hope the zk team append this few lines in the pdf.

Stephan
PS: Have fun with zk.
That's one of the reason I like to use wiki.
(Although pdf is inevitable at some case, after all, it's more easy to read a printout when you lying on the bed)
You may issue a bug record. It can help us to track it.
Though I just knocked my colleague's cell, and told him to modify it :)
