Ivy cannot parse alternate format for Maven MD5 files
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-1155
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1155
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Compatibility
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
         Environment: Windows 7, Sun JDK 1.6.0_16,  Ant 1.7.1
            Reporter: Ryan Saunders


Some projects in the public maven repositories have their MD5 sums in an 
alternate format, like so:

{noformat}fontbox-0.8.0-incubating.jar: 68 7C AB 04 4C 8F 93 7B  89 57 16 62 72 
F1 DA 3C{noformat}

Ivy cannot handle this...it interprets "fontbox-0.8.0-incubating.jar" as the 
expected MD5 sum, and then concludes that the associated .jar file is corrupt 
and refuses to use it. The same problem exists for some of the .pom files. This 
minor issue makes these projects unusable in the maven repo. (So far, I've only 
found this issue with org.apache.pdfbox and org.apache.fontbox.)

Ideally, Ivy would be able to read the alternate format, but it would probably 
be acceptable if there were some way to selectively ignore the checksum files.
