I finally re-tracked it down, the way it works is with a maven-jar-plugin,
it injects the version manifest into the built jar, it's not in the source
tree. So the version is derived from the POM at build-time.

And this doesn't work for V3 right now because the idp-conf POM never
actually builds a jar.
