I actually can't reproduce. I built quarkus master
cd quarkus
./mvnw clean install -DskipTests
Then on this project
cd banner-test
./mvnw quarkus:dev
Then hit the following URL
http://localhost:8080/greeting/init for the initial object creation
http://localhost:8080/greeting/second for the read only showing no version increment
http://localhost:8080/greeting/third showing how the version increment upon changes
