i created this tar files using maven-assembly-plugin.


Solution

  • The Creating artifact checksums told us as

    The Install Plugin can create integrity checksums (MD5, SHA-1) for the artifacts during installation.

    mvn install -DcreateChecksum=true
    

    Updated

    To generate the checksum for other file the checksum-maven-plugin may help. It provides the checksum:file as the following usage: -

    mvn checksum:file -Dfile=some-file.zip
    

    It also provides the custom checksum algorithms , e.g. MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and so on.
