How to create a fat jar for my JavaFX program?

[Davide Perini]

Hi,
thanks for the answer, I appreciate it.

I am trying with jpackage (that bundles my fat jar with some more dlls),
but when I try to run my app I get this error:
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run 
this application

Any idea?

Thanks
