but! javafx:run work fine.

I have the same problem, what kind of path to write inside of it? Also, if you transfer the zip launcher file to another pc the launcher will still run?

[Yolepo]

Same problem here. Works fine with javafx:run too

I can also confirm this, I followed the example code here: https://github.com/openjfx/samples/blob/master/CommandLine/Modular/Maven/hellofx/pom.xml (which uses version 0.0.3 of the plugin), when I updated it to 0.0.4 the jlink goal threw the same NPE as above. Adding the workingDirectory fixed it.
