Organizing github repository for java 6 and 7

Question

I am wanting to create a gihub repository that offers benchmarking code that works for concurrent features available only in JDK 1.7 (Fork/Join) as well as for older ones found in JDK 1.6.

Offering both options is important for what I need.

Does anyone have a recommendation how should I structure the repository.

I was planning on having a repo called and under it:

jdk17
   build
   src
     mycode ...
jdk16
   build
   src
     mycode

Please suggest any alternatives, possibly use of Maven or other more practical approaches, if any.

Answer 1

Unless you need to have source code for both versions available at the same time, you can just put them in separate branches.
