title: How to implement a Java application which automatically updates based on Maven?
body: <p>I'm developing a Rich-client Java application and need a feature to do auto update when a new version is available. </p>
  
  <p>I'm using maven for the build. By its own, the maven-dependency-plugin could copy and download dependencies for a given POM. The only problem is how to integrate this inside a Java application. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone tried this before? </p>
