By the look of the URL, it's an automatically-generated file, that they might cache for a time, but then throw away, and regenerate later, which will have a different checksum. So a URL like that is unsuitable for a port's master_sites location. It's also an unversioned distfile, which should be avoided.

Technically fixed in r87838 by switching to cvs fetching, with all the drawbacks that entails. Is there actually any reason to build this from source though, given that it's just a couple of .jar files?
