This is the md5 output generated by BSD md5 and not necessarily a 
"standard", GNU md5sum generates a different format that is not 
"standard" as well. For maven, just the checksum portion of the content 
is stored in the file.

It would be nice if there was a standard in this area, but I have yet to 
see one in the internet community. We have the same problem with 
generating md5 checksums for the maven repository at the moment.
