[basith374]

hi, i've been using launch4j for a while but now i've decided to do this from maven builds itself. but im getting this error. can someone help me? im running Ubuntu 14.04(Trusty Tahr), netbeans 8.1 Maven uses javafx packager.

Looks the same as #4 - you must install missing libs, see the mentioned issue for more details.
