make md5sum files easier to use
-------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-3675
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3675
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Priority: Minor


The current *.zip.MD5 files contain ONLY the m5dsum, and no EOL character.

8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e

So, to check a sum, users must do this:

$ md5sum JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip
8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e  JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip

then manually compare the generated hash with the published one.

If they contained both the hash and the filename, then users could run this:

$ cat JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip.MD5
8414b9bcdb4ed46639e4fa3d9f36731e  JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip

$  md5sum -c JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip.MD5 
JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-3.0.0.CR2-R200901280154.zip: OK

and would know immediately if the hash matched, without having to manually diff them.
