How to set up in JavaFX for a github project

[wooden moat]

Hello all, I am using JavaFX for my project, and although I have all the .jar files from the latest release in my lib folder, I need to point the launch.json file to the path of the JavaFX lib folder itself (at least I think so anyway). This has made it so I need to have JavaFX in my repo which I feel is bad practice, as there are some files that go above Github's limits. Is there any way I can fix this?

My team and I are unfamiliar with gradel/maven so I wanted to just use the standalone for now

not using it will just make it harder most of the time

Which one is more user friendly?

maven is usually easier for a newbie to get on board
