DON'T USE THIS FILE! Though I think this does the trick for Windows. patch 2006-07-16 21:20 5.90 KB

It would be nice to have Processing update itself, without requiring the
user to go to the site and download the new version.

Sorry if I'm uploading this to the wrong spot.
Also sorry if the code is really messed up, I don't have JDK or whatever.
Linux updating should be easy to do also, but I seriously have no clue with Mac
:P

auto update is fairly complicated because it's not just pde.jar and
core.jar that change, often files and folder are added and removed. it
would be nice to have it implemented so that upgrades would go more
smoothly (and require less disk space), so we'll keep it filed as a feature
request.

Oh, I was under the impression that the new files could simply be extracted
directly over the old ones and it would work fine.
