I keep running into the following upgrade pattern.

Previous Puppet run declared: 
     file { "my_jar.1.2.3.jar": ... }

New puppet run declares:
     file {"my_jar.2.4.6.jar": ... }

But the new puppet run doesn't delete the older versions of this jar file.  

Is there a standard puppet pattern for removing older versions of jars 
without explicitly naming each version?

The overall pattern is...

   declare resource file {  "my_jar.1.2.3.jar": }
   ensure absent for all older versions of my_jar
   ensure => "1.2.3"  (imaginary code since version is specified in the 
name)
   only restart service if my_jar.nnn.jar  has changed
