[Sergey]
The latest sources are located in 
https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource
The virt_jena.jar may be used with Jena2 ver < 2.7.x
The virt_jena2.jar was created because Jena2 was switched to new version of JDK.
If you use Jena2 ver>= 2.7.x, you could use virt_jena2.jar with 
virtjdbc4.jar(or virtjdbc4ssl.jar) and JDK ver>=1.6
If you use Jena3, so you must to use virt_jena3.jar with virtjdbc4_2.jar(or 
virtjdbc4_2ssl.jar) and JDK ver >=1.8

Basically, if you use Jena2, you could switch to virt_jena2.jar driver, the 
virt_jena3.jar driver supports the same features (it was created for support 
Jena3).

You could create pull request, if you need it on 
https://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource
