whats the advantage over just manually making a uberjar and using jlink/jpackage?

Do you have the ability to crosscompile to other architectures/OS?

Do you have the ability to generate a plain executable? the jlink/jpackage route ends up generating an "installers" for each system, which i find hard/annoying to test and people are reluctant to install a program you send them

In the past ive ended up distributing an uberjar bc i didnt have the setup to test all the resulting bundles (esp MacOS which requires buying a separate machine). I also found JavaFX to be a bit inconsistent.. though its been a few years and maybe the situation has improved
