RetroMCP refuses to open or only opens in terminal after updating #217

Description

@PhoenixVX

When updating from v1.0 to v1.1 using the updatemcp (Update MCP) task, v1.0 will download the first JAR it finds on GitHub releases. For v1.1, this is the CLI JAR that gets downloaded which uses a terminal even if the user is updating from v1.0 with GUI.

Unfortunately, there is no way to retroactively edit the code that is used when updating to the newer version and this issue will continue to sprout up as users update to the latest RMCP version.

Developers can download the GUI JAR manually from GitHub releases to fix this issue. If the user was already running the CLI JAR, there is no perceived issue. v1.1 correctly handles this case and future updates will not have this issue.

This issue will be pinned to hopefully prevent issues from being made about this same thing.
