Currently nowhere...

In java/runtime/JavaInternal.java would be fine.
Or alternatively in a new file in the same directory.

Its value should be obtained from the VERSION file,
which sets the VERSION make variable.

The Java file (e.g. JavaInternal.java) should be
automatically generated from a corresponding .in file
(e.g. JavaInternal.java.in) using sed, in a similar manner to
the way that mercury-compiler.spec in the top-level
directory is generated from mercury-compiler.spec.in.
See the Mmakefile rule for that.
