Gents,
I had to use JavaFX and Maven in a university course and for a company project lately but the current plugin do not support maven enough for my needs so I wrote another javafx plugin that don't rely on reflection and has more maven features.
Currently it does the following:
- support many configurations properties
- allow execution of JavaFX applications using exec-maven-plugin
- package and attach JNLP/Applet distributions
- package and attach images distributions
- package and attach installers distributions
As produced distributions are attached to the build the plugin can be used to roll releases using the maven mechanisms.
All this was easier because it's not using reflection. The drawback here is that my plugin force you to add dependencies to javafx artifacts to your POM.

The README explain how to use the plugin.
Daniel is aware of my work on this and we certainly will combine our efforts at some point (this should occur when the build tools are opensourced). For now developpers have the choice between the two approaches.
BTW I have one question. JavaFX will be included in JavaSE classpath at some point (7uX, 8?). People building against Java versions published before this change will still have to explicitely depend on JavaFX to build their applications, don't they?
Regards
/Paul
