Sorry, I should’ve waited for your vote and thanks a lot for doing a thorough 
review.

Yeah, lately we’ve been using gpg for that instead of md5 command:

gpg --print-md MD5 cayenne-X.X.tar.gz

Of course. The same set of sources is used on Mac to build .dmg and .tar.gz and 
then on Windows to build .zip. My two envs happened to have different JDKs. So 
that’s causing these small difference. I’d say there are no essential 
differences to worry about (although I’ll try to keep my JDKs in sync across 
platforms in the future). 

In fact we make a claim that Cayenne 3.1 is compatible with Java 1.5. So if 
there was no backwards compatibility, we would’ve been forced to use JDK 1.5. 
If we actually see a problem, we should definitely pull the binary and redo it, 
but I don’t think we will.
