if you mean "delete it from inside a java program", maybe you can take a look at JarURLConnection class, with getJarFileURL method

I don't think it's in the standard, actually. A jar file is basically a zip, and when you delete from a zip you generally just create a new version without the deleted files.jar files are not modified, they are rebuilt.
