This page and this page give some links and instructions to compile the mutect jar. I'm not sure if this is what you're asking for so let us know if it's not.

If it's still relevant for anyone, I think this is caused by using an improper version of Java (usually too new). You must use JDK 7.
You can use the jdk from https://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7u75/ri/jdk_ri-7u75-b13-linux-x64-18_dec_2014.tar.gz on linux x86 64 bit systems.
Using this, along with the version of mutect available from conda ( https://anaconda.org/compbiocore/mutect/1.1.6/download/linux-64/mutect-1.1.6-1.tar.bz2 ) allowed me to run mutect properly
