How to make Maven Clean Install build JavaFX8? - maven

Question

Every time I try to run my JavaFX 8 project, I need to do a clean install with Maven then build project with eclipse. Doing only the clean install will result in an Exception.
How can I make the maven clean install and eclipse build execute in one command.
If I need to add it in my pom.xml, should I put it in my parent pom.xml or all in its children?
Thanks!

Finally got mine working, I just added this lines of code on my parent pom.xml.

Try doing the following
mvn clean install eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse and then do a refresh on the project in eclipse.
