导出javafx jar后出现Java异常错误

Question

I have a javafx application that I've been developing in eclipse and it is working fine on the IDE. However, when I export it into a jar, I get the following Exception:

Exception in thread "main" 

I've even created a MainTerminal class that doesn't use javaFX, instead just interacts within the terminal and after I exported the jar using MainTerminal as the main class and it worked fine. It seems I'm not being able to export some dependency or something but I checked the buildpath and it seemed alright to me.

I feel quite dumb about this but I just found out what my problem was. I was exporting my project as a Jar instead of a runnable Jar , that's why it was throwing an exception when I tried executing it.
