Supporting multiple versions of Eclipse [message #740259]

Hi,

I have a a set of Eclipse plugins that make up a feature and I am trying to support version 3.1 or 3.2 of Eclipse as a baseline.

The problem I have is that one part of my code relies on version 3.5 or above of org.eclipse.ui. I have alternative code that works on earlier versions but I would rather not use it if I don't have to (performance reasons).

Is there a way that I can use the new code when Eclipse 3.5 or greater is being used and the alternative code when older versions of Eclipse are being used?

I have tried splitting my project up so that I have two identical classes in two different plugins (one targets 3.5 and above and the other targets 3.1 and above). This works in version 3.5 and above but not anything earlier because it is still trying to load the plugin that has been targeted towards 3.5.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Alan
