Automatically update JAVA without user interaction

Howdy!

Is there a way to automatically download JRE / JDK updates and automatically install them?
As far as I see, Sun's integrated updater for the Windows-Platform allows to automatically download the updates, but doesn't install them without user-interaction.

I can do this on Linux by installing JAVA over the package manager. But isn't there a more generic, platform independent...a more JAVA-like solution?
Semms like I'm looking for something similiar like "Windows Update for JAVA".

Thanks!
How can I combine this with the "standard" automatic JAVA update process?
