JavaFX/Maven app run but it doesn't show

My application (JavaFX - Java 8) consumes a REST service and need Jersey libs (2.17). Depedencies are managed by Maven, this is my pom.xml:

            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

When i run the app, it run without errors or warnings (i can see a clear output in eclipse console), i run it from cmd for see errors, but no one. The app run (can see the process) but it doesn't show.

Maybe JavaFX and Maven are not compatible? Should i have to create a JavaFX project instead Maven project? If i have, how i can add a folder lib and not all JARs directly?

I appreciated any help.

The solution was only add a few lines:

Just add the Main class:

<main.class>me.localtest.views.Main</main.class>

And add the Maven package plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <archive>
            <manifest>
                <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                <mainClass>${main.class}</mainClass>
            </manifest>
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

The pom.xml was thus:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>me.localtest</groupId>
    <artifactId>CustomersAppClient</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1</version>
    <name>CustomersAppClient</name>

Most probably the problem is the packaging of the jar. You need to package a runnable jar and not an ordinary jar.

You have many options to build one, the best being using JavaFX Maven Plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>com.zenjava</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>8.1.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

You will find everything you need to know in the documentation

You can also use a maven-assembly-plugin:

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <descriptorRefs>
        <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
        </descriptorRefs>
        <archive>
        <manifest>
            <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
        </manifest>
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

This will create a jar with ProjectName-Version-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar inside your target folder.

You can run the jar on double clicking on it or using the following command in the terminal:

java -jar jarName
