Trying to set up a Minecraft 1.9 server; I have had a 1.8 server running before. I downloaded the server from minecraft.net. It does not have the same files as before. enter image description here

Now what do I do to start the server???

Zip the contents of the folder (but not the folder itself, so select all the files -> right-click -> Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder) and rename the .zip to a .jar. For some reason you have it unpacked. You can then launch it like you would a 1.8 server.
