Plugin properties does not open on windows when building on a Mac: platform-specific JavaFX binaries are not included #262

When building the JAR on a Mac and running the VSM jar on a Windows machine, VSM starts, but when trying to open the Properties panel, I get the following error:

However, executing on a Mac gives no problems.

It looks like the Properties windows uses JavaFX (why?) and when building on an architecture only the binaries of that architecture are included in the JAR.

It seems that two interventions are needed:

This also affects the VSM releases posted on GitHub at this link. As a short-term fix, we should consider adding a suffix to specify the platform for the JAR files in the releases.
