Can I put javafx modules directly into a runnable JAR?

I am working on a project that uses Javafx, and my goal is to make a .exe file with Launch4J, because it will be used by other people.
For now, when I export the project in a runnable JAR, if I want to execute it, I have to write as an argument the path of the javafx folder and add the different modules :
java --module-path javafx-sdk-17.0.2\lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml -jar test13.05.jar
Is there a way to put the javafx folder in my projects lib folder, and add the arguments directely into the main function so I can execute the project without having to write the path and add the modules ?

Fat jars are not recommended to distribute JavaFX application for various reasons. Instead use the official jpackage tool to package your application.

solution with a script (linux ubuntu version) run script

Adding jvm arguments as command in .sh script. every path must be relative in order to run it in other linux pc .Nescesary javafx jar are in libs folder

run_demo.sh

#! /bin/bash
java --module-path libs --add-modules javafx.controls -jar  demo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

This aproach can be implemented in other os with their proper scripts
