Maybe I missed something, but what is wrong with:

--------%<------- ..../tools/ant/versioning.properties
version=1.3alpha
....
--------%<------- ..../tools/ant/Main.java
// ...
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(getClass().getResourceAsStream("versioning.properties"));
String version = p.getProperty("version");
// ...
--------%<-------
