This method will, however, call refresh() for you if the information has not been retrieved at all yet.

Throws:

refresh

public void refresh()
             throws Exception

Forces this object to refresh the agent update information by asking the server for the data again. This always sends a request to the server in order to force the update information to be retrieved again. After this method is called, you can retrieve the new information by calling the method getAgentUpdateInformation().

Throws:

Exception - if agent has disabled updates or it failed to get the update version information
