Therefore it is very easy to just copy and paste "Version: 4.3.2.2; Build ID: edfb5295ba211bd31ad47d0bad0118690f76407d" when asking/discussing in forums, etc. (ok maybe the build ID is not super important, but it seems important to report eg Java version and OS when talking about ImageJ.)

I see this information in ImageJ in text but only when I get exceptions. It would be great to (also) have it an a convenient way at any moment, independently from exceptions, etc.
