Seeing as you are using Maven for your builds, you can also use Maven to initiate the JavaFX packaging. To do this use the Maven antrun plugin to invoke the JavaFX ant tasks to generate a jar for your application with an embedded JavaFX launcher. Here is a sample maven pom to do this.

Your errors in running the javafx packager are due to not appropriately setting the classpath for the packager. An example of how to set the classpath for the javafx packager to package an application which relies on dependent lib jars is in this build script.

The unsatisfied link errors are because you are not including the required lib dll's in a ../bin directory relative to the runtime location of jfxrt.jar when you run your app. You also might not be correctly packaging your application with a JavaFX launcher (via executing the recommended javafx ant tasks or javafxpackager commands to generate your JavaFX application jar).

Update

For Maven based builds of JavaFX applications, you can now use a Maven JavaFX plugin.

Going from the suspicion that the underlying problem is due to an incompatibility between jfxrt.jar and the version of Java installed worked for me. The jfxrt.jar the application was using was compatible with jdk-7u71, yet the application was on a machine where JAVA_HOME was set to 7.0.05. So I installed jdk-7u71 on the problem machine and updated JAVA_HOME.
