I wrote a little Java program that I wanted computer illiterates to be 
able to run.  So I wrote a C loader program that called javaw and 
distributed the program with the JRE image I copied from my computer. 
That works fine and is pretty easy to do.  The install is just copying 
one folder and creating a shortcut to the C loader.  A JavaFX program 
should work the same.
