I am trying to compile a Jave project using maven into a single executable .jar but am recieveing one of two errors:
no main manifest attribute, in csci6461-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
or one pertaining to JavaFX
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application
I need the file to be able to be ran directly by the user, what is the best way to approach this?
This is my pom file:

I have also tried using an Ant build but the latter of the two errors still persist.
