The upgrade.jar is invoked automatically when you use the Help menu's Check for Updates and it finds a new version to download. Once the new version's zip file is downloaded, the upgrade.jar file is invoked to install the zip file's contents; some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) will not allow a running program to be overwritten, so the separate upgrade program does the overwriting of YAAC with the newer code version. In short,
upgrade.jar should never be invoked manually.
Hope this helps.

Are there instructions for the "Upgrade.jar"?
