component = essential
mod_events_cal = mini cal module (optional by recommended)
mod_events_latest = latest events module (optional by recommended)

the rest - your choice.

I am relieved to see that I am not the only one who is confused by the number of files and the lack of information about which are needed.

I am still confused by the comment "the rest your choice"

May we know what each one of the six files does or affects so we can make those choices?

Also, there is no file called "component." It would be helpful if the actual name of that file were provided, please?

Thank you

edited again: After visiting the download page again, I am still frustrated by the terse response. May I ask for the full exact name of the files, not just the general description?

I would like to install jevents 1.4.3RC. I see there are about 6 files listed under that release. Do I install all 6 of them or do I just need to install one and the others are various optional components that I may or may not need?
Thanks!

Is it possible you have figured out exactly (by specific name and purpose) which of the six files does what?

This list may help you:

Thank you. That is greatly appreciated.
