Need help setting up maven.pom to build the .exe file

I need to create an exe file using maven. I heard gradle is better for this purpose, but I know nothing about it. My current .pom file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

To create the .exe file, I offer you the following maven plugins:

Shadow plugin. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

           <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.2</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>shade</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <createDependencyReducedPom>false</createDependencyReducedPom>
                            <filters>
                                <filter>
                                    <artifact>*:*</artifact>
                                    <excludes>
                                        <exclude>META-INF/*.SF</exclude>
                                        <exclude>META-INF/*.DSA</exclude>
                                        <exclude>META-INF/*.RSA</exclude>
                                        <exclude>.settings/**</exclude>
                                        <exclude>*.classpath</exclude>
                                        <exclude>*.project</exclude>
                                        <exclude>*.txt</exclude>
                                    </excludes>
                                </filter>
                            </filters>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

And to create a whole .exe, including everything, or .exe that run .jar with everyone, use the launch4j plugin https://github.com/lukaszlenart/launch4j-maven-plugin

           <plugin>
                <groupId>com.akathist.maven.plugins.launch4j</groupId>

                    <execution>
                        <id>l4j-gui</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>launch4j</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <headerType>gui</headerType>
                            <outfile>target/Project.exe</outfile>
                            <jar>target/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</jar>
                            <!-- if <dontWrapJar>true</dontWrapJar> change to this conf <jar>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.jar</jar> -->
                            <dontWrapJar>false</dontWrapJar>
                            <errTitle>Error in launch4j plugin</errTitle>
                            <classPath>
