'Why does my jQuery .done function not fire after .when code?

I tried to load some scripts with jQuery, and after the download is finished I want to execute some code.

I expected to get alert(1) called but nothing happens. The scripts are correctly downloaded (checked in console).

$.when(
    $.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"),
    $.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/config.js"),
    $.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/skins/bootstrapck/editor_gecko.css"),
    $.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/lang/de.js"),
    $.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js"),
    $.Deferred(function( deferred ){$( deferred.resolve );})
).done(function() { 
        alert (1);
});
jquery.when

I hope the issue is in the below line.

$.getScript ("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/skins/bootstrapck/editor_gecko.css")

As you can find in the documentation that it loads a JavaScript file from the server using a GET HTTP request, then executes it.

For css files you have to may use the code below. 

window.getStyle = function(file) {
  var top = $('head > link[rel=stylesheet]').length ? $('head > link[rel=stylesheet]:last') : $('head > *:last');
  top.after('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' + file + '">');
};

$.when(
  $.getScript("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/ckeditor.js"),
  $.getScript("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/config.js"), window.getStyle("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/skins/bootstrapck/editor_gecko.css"),
  $.getScript("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/lang/de.js"),
  $.getScript("/framework/static/libs/ckeditor/ckeditor/adapters/jquery.js"),
  $.Deferred(function(deferred) {
    $(deferred.resolve);
  })
).done(function() {
  alert(1);
});
