Hello,

why don't you use some kind of Version Control? See http://www.cvshome.org,
for example. Then you can use something like this:

private final String version = "$Revision$";

public String getVersion() {
    return version;
};

And the CVS replaces the $Revision$ string with current version of file:
$Revision 1.5 $....

Or we use this just in header of file:
/*
*    Foo.java
*    Version: $Revision$
*     FileId: $Id$
*/

Hope this works,
Lukas
