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:

</project>

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