Now I will explain you my mistake. closely look the build part of Question. in ant-run plugin when we go in fx:deploy task here you find that i have entry of class-path. i messed up this part which was so simple. look now in my Pom here. class path now updated. first i mention the base dir then ant-fx-plugin path then jfxrt.jar path. jfxrt may be not necessary. after this i have removed dependencies section of plugin. this is critical. if i do not remove this section then my antrun plugin alwasy look into maven provided dependencies but not in ant-classpath. in ant-classpath order is very very important. your basedir must always come before ant-run.jar . thats it

Hope This will helpful for the persons who will face this issue.
