What is the difference between the basex zip release and the others in
this case?
basex zip release is a self contained package, where all required libraries are included. As long as you have Java VM, you can extract it and run basex (gui, cli, client, server, ...) from its executable. However, they are limited to one user only and you have to set up your environment variables yourself.
By using rpm based installer, required libraries are installed separately (in /usr/share/java/*), which is why they are listed as required in rpm installation. Moreover, all user will have access to basex executables (they will be located in /usr/bin/basex*) and their man pages, and there are basex icons in Gnome menu :)
As in, why would trying to use the basex zip release solve my problem?
because it is self contained, you don't need to worry about required libraries (in your problem, xml-commons-resolver-1.2).
