Hi Abhijit,

You can compare your setup against my working project to see what is going wrong

Cucumber-JVM 1.1.5 is 4-1/2 years old. It predates the --plugin option,
which was added in 1.2.0.

See https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

I suggest you start with https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton
