How to support multiple versions of websphere mq?

I have a Java application (which comunicate via JMS, connects using client mode) which need to support multiple versions of the websphere mq (v6,v7.1) (some clients want to remain on version 6 and others to upgrade to version 7). The problem can be solved if i will create two bundles with specific code/configuration for each version. But i want to avoid this. So there is a solution to avoid this problem?

For example to have the latest clients jar(v7) as dependency and work with older mq(v6) also or vice-versa?

Can somebody point me to some documentation which presents the compatibility between the client jars and mq versions.

Yes, MQ v7 clients can connect to MQ v6 queue manager. But note all features that are specific to V7 will not work when connecting V6 queue manager.

I would like remind you, MQ v6 is already out of support. You have to migrate to at least V7.0.1 and possibly latest fix pack.
