[infinispan-dev] Javadocs containing @version $Id

[Jason T. Greene]

It's useful if you have exported source checkouts (maven snapshots, 
etc), and you want to figure out which version the release is. Although 
with subversion you don't need it on every file. Perhaps though you want 
it in your version info string, that way its in the binary too?
