Replace plugin jars in RCP app programmatically while running [message #1270003]

I have an RCP Application which is mainly based upon 3 plugin jars.

By clicking some menu in my rcp application, I will run a java program which would overwrite old 3 plugin jars with new ones.

The problem is RCP Application is not allowing me to overwrite plugin jars
while its still running.

I don't want to use eclipse update site or update framework. ( Of-course i need to restart my rcp app as well )

Kindly help

Thanks,
Shrikanth NC

This is a typical windows problem where the jars are locked when a
classloader has them opened.
