[FIXED] Maven cucumber reporting from eclipse not generating the reports as per this plugin

Issue

Trying to generate the reports as per the maven cucumber reporting Link to maven cucumber reporting

Made the necessary changes in the pom.xml file as explained here tutorial on configuring reports

But the reports are getting generated in the simple html file but not as per the cucumber reports.

pom.xml

RunCukesTest.java

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        features = {"classpath:features"},
        plugin = {"html:target/site/cucumber-pretty","json:target/cucumber.json"},
        tags = {"@currentTest"},
        glue={"helpers","stepDefinitions"},
        monochrome = true
        )
public class RunCukesTest{

}

Reports are generated like this

which are different from expected

Solution

all configuration was good, made two changes.

1. removed pluginManagement tag in pom
2. Used cucumberOutput output directory instead of jsonFiles. For some reason jsonFiles was generating duplicate reports.

pom file,
