java - Make executable jar into Mac OS and Windows apps without passing args in terminal

Question

I've been trying to make an executable .jar file openable from a double click, but it seems that I can only open it through the terminal with the following line:

java -jar --module-path /PATH/javafx-sdk-11.0.2/lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml rigel.jar

I can't quite figure out how to make it openable with a double-click. I read a lot of posts where people advised to use a .sh file, but after reading a few tutorials about them I still haven't figured out how to launch them from outside the terminal.

Also, I would like to make it work on both MAC OS and Windows and be able to distribute it, so Jar Bundler won't help.

The idea would be to turn a jar file into a .exe and a .app for Windows and Mac, knowing that the jar file can only be opened by passing it javaFX in args through the terminal for now...

Does anyone have an idea as to how I could do this?

Thanks in advance
