hey thanks for checking out this post.
I have an application that I made in java, and what I would like to do
is have the application automatically check the web, and see if an
update is available for the application, then automatically install any
updates.
For instance if I had say myApp version 1.0, and on the server there is
a new version of the application myApp version 1.1, that only had minor
differences in the downloadable file, what might be the best way to
"push" the updated files onto the users computer.
Ideally an article would be a great resource for me here, as I know
that I do not simply want to download the entire application to the
users machine each time that there is an update, rather I would like to
be able to force them to download only the neccessary bits of the
program that would correctly update their application.
I am new at this whole auto-updating over the web thing, but feel that
it is necessary for this application.
Thanks for your help
