Clear Jarcache files upon first run of the SDA after an upgrade
Idea Description
Automatically clear the jarcache directory in the Sierra Desktop App installation files after an upgrade or provide an option in the SDA settings to enable this.
Idea Value
The jarcache directory is updated the first time the SDA is launched after a Sierra upgrade. After several upgrades the directory becomes bloated with old .jar files. It makes sense for the jarcache directory to be cleared as part of the first launch of the SDA post upgrade. This will ensure a fresh set of jar files.

This would be fine, but jarcache can get screwed up every time you start SDA. There really should be a more comprehensive solution, like checking the number of files with every start.
