The JavaFX Deploy Lib provides a core functionality for assembling JavaFX applications. It is build-tool independent and is intended to be used as a base to build plugins for Maven, Gradle and other third party tools. It is a direct replacement for the 'JavaFX packaging' library that comes with the JDK but without the limitations that come from being bundled in the JDK.

The JavaFX Maven Plugin provides a way to to assemble distributable bundles for JavaFX applications from within Maven. It provides a wrapper around the JavaFX packaging tools which are provided as part of the JavaFX installation.
