Is it possible to download jar programatically?

Question

Hello to all the java experts. Is it possible to download a jar programatically? I created an applet that uses some big jars and I want to download part of them just if a specific button was pressed.
Is it possible?
If the answer is yes how can it be done?

Hi,
I hope the code given below will help you.
URL url = new URL(serverLocation + jarName);
try {
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setAllowUserInteraction(true);
InputStream instream = connection.getInputStream();
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(instream);
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream(JarLocation +
jarName);
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(file);
int i;
while ( (i = in.read()) != -1) {
out.write(i);
out.flush();
out.close();
file.close();
in.close();
stream.close();
catch (IOException exp) {
exp.printStackTrace();
}
