It needs to match reasonably precisely (i.e. if you want to talk to 
VirtualBox 4.3 then don't try with a jar file for 4.2), but an 
absolutely correct match shouldn't be necessary.

Huh? There is no need to build the VirtualBox source code to get this 
file. It's part of the VirtualBox SDK which is rather easy to get.

The SDK contains sample code which works on all supported platforms and 
can serve as a starting point.

Just grab the latest SDK package for whatever VirtualBox release you 
want to control. No idea where you found the very outdated information...
