Omair is correct.  This has been true since:

2011-05-04  Andrew John Hughes  <ahughes at redhat.com>

	    Move to using icedtea servers.
        * Makefile.am:
        (CORBA_SHA256SUM): Updated.
        (HOTSPOT_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
        (JAXP_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
        (JAXWS_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
        (JDK_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
	(LANGTOOLS_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
        (OPENJDK_SHA256SUM): Likewise.
	(ICEDTEA_PREFIX): Added to avoid hardcoding
        the prefix for the root directory.
        (ICEDTEA_HG_URL): Updated to use icedtea.classpath.org
        (extract-openjdk): Use $(ICEDTEA_PREFIX) in
        place of 'jdk7'.

and was specifically done to avoid the need for users to have OpenJDK accounts,
for which there is still no clear process on how to obtain them.
