JavaFX Deployment

[Johan Vos]

Hi Petr,

Your questions are actually related. The recommended way for distributing
JavaFX apps is by bundling them with the required libraries, modules and VM
into an executable. That way, you determine whether your application works
with Java 8, 9, 10, 11 or beyond. You simply bundle the required components
of the JRE with your app, so that users don't need to have the correct
version of Java installed.
