How to use jUpdateChecker

1. Download the latest version of jUpdateChecker.
2. Add the jar file to your application.
3. Create an instance of jUpdateChecker. Example:

String  appName         = "Test App";
Version currentVersion  = new Version( 0, 1 );
String  newVersionURL   = "http://giannivanhoecke.com/jUpdateChecker_version.txt";
String  releaseNotesURL = "http://sfap.sourceforge.net/releasenotes.html";
String  downloadPageURL = "http://giannivanhoecke.com/";
JUpdateChecker jUpdateChecker = new JUpdateChecker( appName, currentVersion, newVersionURL, releaseNotesURL, downloadPageURL );

1. To check for updates call the following:

jUpdateChecker.checkForUpdates( true, false );

The @true@ is we want to use a GUI instead of the terminal.
The @false@ is that we want to be notified when there are no updates available.

You can find the example as an attachment.
