Hi. 
I'm developing application that has to automatically update. 
Now it works as a windows service (using prunsrv http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html ) 
I'm wondering if you have any ideas that will help  

the plan is much about: 
1. application downloads update package 
2. application runs update package and ends itself 
3. update package do update (java classes or maybe a script ? ) 
4. update package ends and starts application (starts windows service) 

using java during update is easy/comfortable ? or maybe some kind of scripts? BeanShell? (i don't want to learn a new scripting language - i don't have a time for this  ) 
are there any advantages of using scripting languages? (over plain java)
