How to maintain different, customized versions of the same?
You could use your SCM to maintain branches. Keep the master branch pristine/clean from client custom code. Do main development on this branch. For every customized version of the application maintain separate branches. Any good SCM tool will do really well with merging branches (Git comes to mind).
How to maintain different versions of the same app?
Each customer project is a separate project which then depends on the common one as a dependency. This is easiest if your common base app uses a dependency injection framework like Spring, so that you can easily inject different replacement variants of objects in each customer project as custom features are required.
Do you need to store software for all clients?
Store software for all clients in a single branch. There’s no need to diverge the changes made for different clients. Most lilkely, you’ll want your software to be of best quality for all the clients, and the bugfix to your core infrastructure should affect everyone without unnecessary merging overhead, which also may introduce more bugs.
