    So I'm writing a custom Plugin, and I want it to check a file on my DropBox for the version (i.e 1.0.4) and then download the jar from there if the version is different.. It wont be released to bukkitdev so it wont break their rules, please I really need help with this and I'm sure loads other do too, I can't find anything like what I'm looking for because they all need to comply with bukkitdev's ToS. but anyway, this is private plugin xD Thanks.

    Remember to include a toggle to shut it off, or it won't be accepted on Bukkit :)

    Miner_Fil Thank you! How would I call this on onEnable()?

    Create a new instanceof Updater and call the checkForUpdates method

    Code:java
    1. public void onEnable()
    2. {
    3. Updater updater = new Updater(this);
    4. updater.checkForUpdates();
    5. }
