Pull Request 1 indicated a quickfix for the problem with using the SDK .jars in an 'uber' or 'fat' or executable .jar. However, this quickfix prevents the Stormpath API server from knowing the SDK version, which is required for version/behavior-compatibility reasons.

This issue is to implement the version.properties based approach (file created during the build, inserted into a package which is included in the .jar), which supersedes the pull request.
