Description
Calling "javac -version" currently displays something like:
javac 1.7.0-jsr308-1.6.4
Regardless of how many commits happened in the jsr308-langtools or
checker-framework repositories since the last release.
For non-release builds it would be useful to additionally display parts of the
output of "hg tip", e.g.
javac 1.7.0-jsr308-1.6.4 (dev build; jsr308-langtools: 051b0d96ed42
checker-framework: 22d84fc38c4f)

Research direction
Start by tracing the implementation and build/version-generation path behind javac -version, then inspect how version information is supplied by the jsr308-langtools and checker-framework repositories. Done means non-release builds include the requested repository revisions while release builds retain their existing version output.
