Can a panel target both Premiere and After Effects?

I haven't researched yet due to time constraints, but the answer might be useful for others as well.

I have succesfully built a CEP panel for PPro, but would like to have everything inside one codebase - so I would like to have certain commands target Premiere, and others After Effects. Is that possible?

Correct answer Bruce Bullis

The JavaScript (CEP) part of the panel can be the same for all hosts (and can detect what host it's running in); the ExtendScript API of each application is different, so app-specific coding will be necessary.

Bruce Bullis -- Do you have any feedback on this question? Been checking the examples, but cannot find a definitive answer.

And is there a variable or function that can be consulted via javascript to show only parts of the CEP panel when a certain host is activated?
