The zm-selenium project depends on the following Zimbra projects:

1. zimbra-package-stub
2. zm-zcs
3. zm-mailbox
4. zm-web-client

git clone https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-zcs.git
git clone https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-mailbox.git
git clone https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-web-client.git
git clone https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-zimlets.git

Build zm-native and zm-common jar using zm-mailbox repo.

Go to zm-mailbox and build using following command.
      ant publish-local-all -Dzimbra.buildinfo.version=8.7.6_GA

It will create zm-common.jar and zm-native.jar file
