You certainly don't need the zip files but you do need the distribution.
 Is the generation of the zips really adding so much time to your build?

IIRC the addition of the zips happened around the same time as the esb
server was added to the build, not sure why that was done the way it was
though.

P.S. a dist on my machine takes less than three minutes and the largest
component is the generation of the javadocs, not the zips.  We can
certainly speed up the build but I would guess that speeding up the
javadoc generation would give you a better experience.
