My question was really an abstract question about managing files outside the jar that need to be changes frequently (example, save files?) About GetDown, How does it know where to put the files for each OS? After it installs the files, how do you tell the app it's location in the FS? Can you specify "../" to get to the .jar's parent folder? Also, I don't understand how you make a program that uses getdown to download/install/update an app. I read the wiki, and OOO labs, but I didn't get it. Could you just tell me how to make a small program that downloads, installs, and launches my app?
Thanks,
