Error When Expanding Tarballs

When expanding the binary tarballs you might wind up experiencing the following:

 
$ tar zxvf /path/to/apache-activemq-5.1.0-bin.tar.gz
apache-activemq-5.1.0/bin/run.jar
apache-activemq-5.1.0/activemq-all-5.1.0.jar
...
apache-activemq-5.1.0/webapps/fileserver/WEB-INF/web.xml
apache-activemq-5.1.0/webapps/fileserver/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/activemq/util/FilenameGuardFilter.class
apache-activemq-5.1.0/webapps/fileserver/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/activemq/util/FilenameGuardFilter$GuardedHttpServletRequest.class

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

These errors are a product of an open bug in Maven and are innocuous and won't affect anything.
