Maven: JavaFX: Bundle libs in one Jar File

Question

I need a solution to pack all lib-files into the executable jar-file.I use Maven and the Maven plugins javafx-maven-plugin, maven-compiler-plugin and maven-surefire-plugin. I haven't found a solution for my problem based on these plugins yet.

I hope someone can help me. Here are the configurations of the plugins.
