Hey there, is it possible to have a .jar file delete itself on exit? If so could I please get a code snippet as an example?
Thanks in advance,

Re: Jar self delete on exit?
That's a rather.. odd behavior to want. I can't think of a way to do this in pure Java (the JVM holds the lock on the file until it's completely shut down). This can easily be done with a command script, though.
What are you using this for? Perhaps there's a different solution here (a program normally shouldn't delete itself on exit).
