I wasn't really thinking of automatic at this stage ... just a simple user interface.

Been thinking a bit about this. Given that the modus-operandi of dhis-lite is to run with exploded wars, then theoretically it should be much more feasible to update a jar here and there or even just mirror the whole exploded directory structure (using wget). Of course there are a few risks of breaking things, so I would be very reluctant to set anything too automatic without enforcing the server is stopped, database is backed up etc. Still, some things can be done.
