maven - Compiling a Java Application without Client JDK Requirement

Question

I have compiled an application that uses OpenJFX, it currently exists as a JAR that works properly on the machine it was compiled on.

However, when sent to a machine that has the latest JRE installed, it fails to start and reports a "JNI Error". However on this same machine, if the latest Java SDK is installed it runs fine.

I am using maven, you can find my pom.xml below

From what I can find, there is no requirement for OpenJFX to have the JDK installed on the client machine. So I believe this to be an issue in how I am/IntelliJ is compiling this application.

Here is an image of how my project settings are setup.

Here is my POM.xml

Does anyone know of how I can compile this application to not require the JDK, it doesn't make very much sense to deploy a Java application where the end-user has to install OpenJDK.
Also, I may be overlooking another detail here if so please educate me!
