### Custom FXLauncher Update UI

This example project shows you how you can customize the look and feel of the
FXLauncher user interface.

It is recommended that you create a separate project for the custom UI to make it
easier to embed it into the `fxlauncher.jar`. Basically you implement [UIProvider](https://github.com/edvin/fxlauncher/blob/master/src/main/java/fxlauncher/UIProvider.java)
and add the `META-INF/services/fxlauncher.UIProvider` file, pointing to your implementation. See the
documentation of `UIProvider` on the previous link.

To embed custom UI, include a step in your app project where you basically
embed all the class files from the ui project into the `fxlauncher.jar`:

```xml
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

            <version>1.4.0</version>
            <executions>
                <!-- Here you already have executions for 
                "create-manifest" and "embed-manifest-in-launcher" --> 
                <execution>
                    <id>embed-custom-ui-in-launcher</id>
