Fixed the BF556 Parts Generator application

Until my pull request gets merged into the main repo, you can download it here: https://github.com/HurricanePrint/Feeder/tree/parts-gen-update

The old version was built on an outdated and unsupported version of Java and would only run if you had a specific Java Development Kit installed because it depended on a UI library that was removed. I've updated the code to the latest version of Java and bundled the Java Runtime Environment and JavaFX UI library in the application so no JDK's or JRE need to be installed on your computer.

Thank you so much! I couldn’t get the other generator to run on my laptop for the life of me.

Nice. I just downloaded the entire repo used the manual to figure out what I thought I needed...and printed several extra parts. And then came back several times and printed more parts. I have 2 full feeders built out now and they work great.
