Export JavaFX project as executable jar or exe

Question

Hi I've finished my JavaFx project and now I want to export it as a.exe file

The problem is that my JavaFX project use VM arguments

--module-path D:\ProjectDirectory\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

I export the executable jar file and I try to run it with the argument like this

java -jar D:\Project.jar --module-path D:\ProjectDirectory\javafx-sdk-11.0.2\lib --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml

When I execute that program I receive the next error

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application

The way to go is to use the jpackage tool to package your application. Have a look at the documentation here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/jpackage/packaging-overview.html
