I'm looking for a Maven plugin that could execute by itself the good JVM arguments. For now, I've tried using the maven-compiler-plugin and the maven-surefire-plugin (the pom of my project is down below).

the type of argument I want the jvm to execute is this one:

--module-path="C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-11\lib" --add-modules=javafx.controls

in order to launch a javafx app.

the pom.xml with the plugin tests.

<build>
    <plugins>
        //tests with the surefire plugin (without tests).
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.0.0-M1</version>
            <configuration>
                <skipTests>true</skipTests>
                <argLine>--module-path="C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-11\lib" --add-modules=javafx.controls</argLine>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Why would you do that? Have you read the OpenJFX docs to get started with JavaFX 11 and Maven? See https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/ – José Pereda Dec 04 '18 at 17:03
yeah but it only works when I run it and not if I launch the java -jar .jar like once it-s packaged – midugh Dec 04 '18 at 17:23
@R.LM that depends on how you've packaged it and are running it as well. – Naman Dec 04 '18 at 17:28
So how could I package it to run the exec plugin with the java -jar usual launching without any other arguments? – midugh Dec 04 '18 at 17:29
Keep reading the docs, it is documented – José Pereda Dec 04 '18 at 17:34
