Is it possible to force cache clearing when a java web start application is updated from the command line?

Personally, I'd disable the caching while developing.

Windows: - Go go ControlPanel / Java

Linux: - $JAVA_HOME/bin/jcontrol

-> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings -> Untick "Keep temporary files on my computer"

Click on "Delete files" to clear all cache while you at it.
