[jsword-devel] Question about the Updates

[DM Smith]

With Java WebStart, what is supposed to happen is that it checks each of 
the jars to see if there is a newer jar. If so, it downloads it 
replacing the old one. You can look in WebStart's cache, where it keeps 
the program, to see what is actually doing. You should see three files 
for each jar. One is the jar, the other two relate to security validation.
