What I did was: Put most of the functionality in a single package, say: com.foo.appcore
Then, each version of the app will be in a different package com.foo.applite com.foo.appfull In development, I put the full version in Eclipse (i.e., appcore and appfull), so it's easy to build and debug all the source code. To build applite, I use a Makefile -- I tried ant, but it's just not as flexible as make. I got all that to work, and then I decided to make my program open-source so all that was a waste of time :-) On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 10:50 AM, jarkman <jark...@gmail.com> wrote: > > We're thinking about building light and paid versions of our app for > the Market.
