As far as the Java side goes, is there an easy
way to update the Jar file? i.e. my program a.jar will have a new version,
so it should download http://somewhere.com/a.jar and replace itself?

Look into JAWS. I can be used to keep jars up to date, and to run an
installer class you write when a new one arrives. So you could use it
to keep a C++ program up to date as well.
