I mabe didn't understand your point but what do you mean "versrsion number in a Java class"? In my code I have a couple of [public static final String] objects that store a package (software) number. During building (before compilation) I replace their value to the current build number. There is a task PROPERTYFILE that allows you to read a property file and chagne its value according to your logic (though on a very primitive level). By these two acts I achieve all I need regarding vversion number identification.
If I miss something pls. explain.
