Java Development

Hi everyone,

What is the best way to handle the source for multiple Blackberry versions?  For example, I have an app which uses net.rim.device.api.ui.TouchEvent, which I only need in 4.7+.  Of course, when I compile my app for 4.5, it can't find this class and throws an error.

However, I don't want to keep two separate code bases just because of this.  Is there an easy way to handle this?  How is everyone else doing it?

Also, a search for "preprocessor" will turn up dozens of threads on the subject.

Thanks.  I always managed to find what I've needed before by searching, but to be honest, in this case, I had no idea what to search for!
