Java Properties would indeed make a much more elegant mechanism for achieving this...
However, the version generation utility on the Java side is nearly ready for public comment, and at that point, it will be posted for comment, and the strategy for integrating with the existing codebase will be re-examined. I would recommend that we wait until that time (within this week) before making any changes. The idea of separating the versions by namespace is no longer being entertained, and this file may not survive that reversal.
