In addition to what Dmitry said, you can also set the version number
at runtime - they're two system properties that apply -
netbeans.buildnumber and netbeans.productversion.  The latter is used
in various other places like the About screen.

I've recently added some extensions to my build process to pass the
app.version property from the project.properties file through the
application conf file to set these up.  The three lines used are -

https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/build.xml#L17
https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/praxis_live.conf#L7
https://github.com/praxis-live/praxis-live/blob/master/praxis.live.core/src/net/neilcsmith/praxis/live/core/Installer.java#L47

Obviously, the latter needs to be in a suitable place in your own application.

Hope that helps.

Best wishes,

Neil
