If you need your code to run on both versions, you will have to decide
whether or not you want different code for 3.3 than for 3.2. If you
decide that is too difficult to manage (it IS difficult to manage), then
you can't use any of the new API that is in 3.3; you'll have to stick
with 3.2 API.
If you wanted to have different code for each Eclipse version, what I
would recommend is having two separate plugins, each one specified so
that it will only load into the appropriate Eclipse version (you can do
this by carefully specifying the dependencies, using specific version
ranges). You may have to also specify a feature in a special way, too.
Finally, you'll have to set your Target Platform to be 3.3 to write the
version of your plugin that uses 3.3 API.
As I said, this is difficult to manage and set up correctly. If you can
avoid it, that is what I'd recommend.

Thank you for your tip.
We seperated the code and we made the feature (target to 3.2) and fragment
patch (target to 3.3). It works well. But, we have to make 2 development
environment because of compiling error. Eclipse 3.2 is for the main
stream. Eclipse 3.3 is for the patch.
I'm finding the way the main stream uses eclipse 3.2 jdt library and the
patch uses eclipse 3.3 jdt in one developing environment. Is it possible?
