Motivation
Currently the client version is being reported from a properties files that is included in the pulsar client Jar. If the application is packaging this into an uber-jar on its own, it might be stripping away the properties file and we won't be able to track the client version.
Instead, expand the property into a Java template file where it will be more safely stored.
