Maven Ant Task in maven pom file using maven ant plugin

<jfxjar destfile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}">
  <fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/classes" />
  <fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/lib/" includes="*.jar" />    

  <application name="${project.name}" mainClass="com.client.main.App" />        
  <resources>
     <fileset dir="${project.build.directory}/lib/" includes="*.jar" />
  </resources>
</jfxjar>

Here is my Fx Application Class code

public class App extends Application {
    /*public static Logger mLogger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(App.class);    */
public static Injector injector;
public static AppHandler mAppHandler;

@Override
public void init() throws Exception {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.init();
    injector = Guice.createInjector(new GuiceModule());/*This line cause exception*/
    mAppHandler = injector.getInstance(AppHandler.class);
    if(mAppHandler!=null)
        mAppHandler.startHandler();
}

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
    Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("/fxml/FXMLDocument.fxml"));

    Scene scene = new Scene(root);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("/styles/style.css");
    stage.setTitle("RPAS Java Client");
    stage.getIcons().add(new Image("/images/RPAS Java Client.png"));
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}

@Override
public void stop() throws Exception {
    mAppHandler.stopHandler();
} 



/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) { 
    launch(args);        
}

}

Here is my understanding

Now what i understand is my dependencies are not properly loading. ant "jar making" task makes jar without any issues. when i double click it through exception. I opened the jar and here is my Manifest

Manifest-Version: 1.0
JavaFX-Version: 2.2
JavaFX-Application-Class: com.client.main.App
JavaFX-Class-Path: guice-3.0.jar hamcrest-core-1.3.jar javax.inject-1.jar log4j-1.2.15.jar slf4j-api-1.7.7.jar slf4j-log4j12-1.7.7.jar 
Created-By: JavaFX Packager
Main-Class: com/javafx/main/Main

I also wonder when i saw that jar making process add com.javafx.main.Main.java file to the code automatically which first check Run time(JRE and FX) and then if all successful invoke the com.sun.javafx.Application.LauncherImp .

can any body help me?
