Unfortunately there is no standard format for checksum files at all. If
you create md5sums using gpg or the BSD md5 program you'll get a
different format from the one you've described. On FreeBSD you'd get
MD5: {apache-ant-1.9.2-bin.tar.bz2} = the-checksum
For historical reasons Ant's checksums have always been just the plain
checksums without any file name - it's not just the last release.
In general we heavily recommend you verify the PGP signature which
in addition to several other advantages really has a standard format to
comply with - unlike the MD5 checksum.
