[FIXED] How to download javafx libraries for each operating system using Maven?

Issue

I have defined javafx dependencies in pom.xml, but downloaded are .jars with manifest only and .jars for my specific OS - Windows (see picture).

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
    <version>15.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
    <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
    <version>15.0.1</version>
</dependency>

How to download others?

What i am trying to achieve?

I am trying to create 3 packages, each with my .jar application and javafx library for specific operating system, that is why i want to download javafx libraries for remaining OS (Linux, Mac).

Solution

You can use the <classifier> tag in your dependency
From the docs:

The classifier distinguishes artifacts that were built from the same POM but differ in content. It is some optional and arbitrary string that - if present - is appended to the artifact name just after the version number.

My pom for cross-platform JavaFX-Applications usually look like this:

<dependencies>
    <!-- JavaFX - Windows -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>win</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>win</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>win</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <!-- JavaFX - Linux -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>linux</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>linux</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>linux</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <!-- JavaFX - Mac -->
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-graphics</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>mac</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>mac</classifier>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
      <artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
      <version>11</version>
      <classifier>mac</classifier>
    </dependency>

    <!-- other dependencies -->
</dependencies>
