Yes, what is usually done is to use the following in the source code :

/**
 * [...]
 * @version $Id: $
 */

and when you do a CVS commit, CVS will expand it to something like :

/**
 * [...]
 * @version $Id: AbstractTestCaller.java,v 1.3 2002/03/10 18:27:26
vmassol Exp $ */
 */

Thus, there is no longer any need to copy the sources before compiling.
