An .md5 file contains an MD5 checksum of the related file. You also
need the .zip file, then you can do something like:

	md5sum WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

That will print out the MD5 checksum of the .zip file, which you then
compare to the contents of the .md5 file to verify that the zip file is
correct.

Alternately, assuming you have BOTH the .md5 and .zip file in the same
directory, you can feed the .md5 file to the md5sum command with a
"-c" flag:

	md5sum -c WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.md5

The command will read the .md5 file for the checksum, then compute the
checksum for the .zip file, compare them and tell you if they match.
