Right, it depends on if you want modular or non-modular and that is generally
predicated by what kind of dependencies you include that you cannot influence.
If you want a non-modular binary you can use a shaded JAR with a launcher class
that literally calls the main method of the main that extends the JavaFX
Application. and Jlink. You’ll obviously need to include all the JavaFX
dependencies.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<release>${maven.compiler.version}</release>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.0.3</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>${mainClass}</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<shadedArtifactAttached>true</shadedArtifactAttached>
<shadedClassifierName>project-classifier</shadedClassifierName>
<outputFile>${project.build.directory}/jar/${project.artifactId}.jar</outputFile>
<transformers>
<transformer implementation=
"org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
<mainClass>${launcherClass}</mainClass>
</transformer>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Simply run this and you’ll get an executable binary for the platform you are
running.
mvn org.openjfx:javafx-maven-plugin:0.0.3:jlink
If however, you want a modular project it’s somewhat more complex but
nonetheless doable; you could follow my tutorial on DZone[1]. It does need
updating a little - in that you can use the JDK 14ea JPackage to do the
packaging now but it is generally all still applicable.
Hope this helps!

tutorial or documentation on how to do this with Netbeans/maven?
Thanks
