Hello, I'm writing a front-end to a library (that's in a jar file). The
library actually comes in two forms, an open-source one and a commercial
one with extra functionality. Does that mean I have to have two
frontends, one for each version?

I have access to both versions myself but some of my supposed users only
have the open source edition. I would like to have one eclipse project
that can act as a frontend to either version. How do I handle this? Is
my question even clear? :-)

Is there anything in the jar file that a program can easily use to
determine which version its connected to?

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure, I've contacted the vendor to see
what they have to say.

Your invalid email address points to "spammers.com", which is a valid
and existing domain. Please add ".invalid" to the end of your email
address, so email software knows it is invalid. That is a used to create
invalid email addresses.

There is also "mydomain.com" which is abused as a domain.

Thanks for telling me, I believe I've changed it now according to your
suggestions.
