2. Use the UpdateBuilder to create, execute the update process and get the result as UpdateStatus

import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    UpdateBuilder builder = UpdateBuilder.updateProject("paper")
            .version("1.17.1")
            .outputFile("server.jar");

    // Execute the update process asynchronously
    CompletableFuture<UpdateStatus> future = builder.executeAsync();
    
    // Execute the update process synchronously
    UpdateStatus status = builder.execute();
  }
}

3. Do whatever you want with the UpdateStatus
