Failed to run maven javafx application and some error in pom file

Question

I am trying to run a JavaFX application under Maven. When I run the program it shows some error.

Error: Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:java (default-cli) on project Calculator: The parameters 'mainClass' for goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:java are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

At which part i should make the change in my pom.xml file.

Using netbeans 11.0 
JDK 12

I tried to see some available solutions on stackoverflow itself.

This is my Pom.xml file

It seems like maven cannot find your main class from your package.Can you please provide your directory structure .And cross verify if your class name and package is correct in pom. — Ananthapadmanabhan, May 27 '19 at 04:53

I added some line of code under tag Plugins in my pom.xml file. Also, I referred to a youtube video.
