I actually decided to do that instead, it just means moving that routine
towards the beginning instead of the end of the install.

If it were me, have have the install routine check for the .JAR in use
before doing anything.

Then if it was in use display the jobs using it and tell the user they
must be ended prior to the install. Wouldn't hurt to include a check
to see if the job doing the install is on the list and if so tell the
user to sign off and sign back on without using the app.

In your scenario, what happens once the .jar is installed into a
temporary folder? The user must remember to move it manually later
after figuring out it is safe to do so? Just doesn't seem like a
good idea to me.

clients are doing.
