How to export JavaFX gradle project as a standalone executable file for deployment?

I have completed my JavaFX application within gradle build system, and it is working fine in all way. Now I want to export as a .EXE file for standalone software distribution, I tried much more tricks but no gain. If some one can help me out to wrap my project in a software setup, It would be grateful.
