getting "Error: Could not find or load main class cucumber.api.cli.Main" when running a single feature file in eclipse.
I am trying to run a single feature file I have tried to run it as a cucumber file to no avail, get an "invalid project specified" message.  I followed the instructions from a previous post and listed on the cucumber info site for running a single feature file as a java application. 
MAC OSX
Java 1.7
cucumber-cucumber-jvm-2341737
cucumber-cucumber-jvm-v1.0.14-12-g2341737.zip
cucumber-java-1.1.5-sources.jar
cucumber-java-1.1.5.jar
cucumber-junit-1.1.5-sources.jar
cucumber-junit-1.1.5.jar
Added all the cucumber jars to external jars and I am running it in the dev space which is maven pulling the 1.1.5 jars.  Anyone have any suggestions?  any trouble shooting tips?

I cannot understand exactly what your list is (mix of directories,
zip, sources and jars), but cucumber.api.cli.Main is in
cucumber-core-1.1.5.jar

Maven would have downloaded cucumber-core for you, as it is a
dependency of cucumber-java. If you don't want headaches, try and use
Maven dependencies from within Eclipse: it should be well-integrated
in any recent release.

Casey,

I have a step by step video showing how to set up cucumber-JVM with maven in eclipse ttp://youtu.be/aPDMDufkBSc   i was using 1.1.2 in the video but just change to select the most recent version and you should be fine.

Thank you Marty.
The multiple/all files as a maven option works, it is running just one test/feature file that I can't get to work.

[Marty Bradley]

How are you trying to run just one feature file? Can you provide more details and any errors you are seeing?

[Kacey Arnold]

I was using the instructions provided by the gentleman who wrote the automation framework.  After talking with a co-worker I am now going to use a runner file as you and he suggested.
but for your information here are the instructions provided to run a single feature file

Run a single feature

1. open the feature file
2. right click to bring up context menu.
3. select Run As/Cucumber Test.

This will execute all scenarios in this feature file. Note that this option is provided by the Cucumber plug-in, so it won't be available unless this plug-in is installed.

ah got it.  Thanks.
