Upme will be a library for adding self-update capabilities to Java desktop applications. Its main goals are simplicity and robustness.
Important
Despite the small amount of time I am able to dedicate to this project currently and therefore its really slow progress, I didn't give up on it. Due to my studies, other side projects and an exchange semester I will do abroad, I will probably not be able to spend much time on it until next winter. However, I do look forward to making this little dream of mine come true. Expect updates in late 2026 / 2027.
