This is a JavaFX deploy example for Windows OS. Ultimately, it produces a Windows Installer that includes a custom JRE.

End-users can install the program via a small (28MB) exe file and run it immediately using the generated desktop shortcut without the need for additional JRE installations.

The actual build process involves the following steps:

• Bundling dependencies using module-info.java or the jdeps tool
• Creating a runtime image using the jlink tool
• Packaging as an installer using the jpackage tool

In this example, JavaFX-Maven-Plugin and JPackage-Maven-Plugin plugins are used instead of direct commands.

Firstly, to create the Windows Installer, please install Wix. Install wix311.exe.

Then, build using the following command:

.\mvnw clean javafx:jlink jpackage:jpackage

The output can be found in the target/dist folder.
