How to make the java cucumber simplest example fully work in Eclipse? - eclipse

Question

I'm new to cucumber and after trying various not fully working tutorials, I try to make this example work : https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-java-skeleton
Here is the plugin i'm using :
My version of Eclipse (wrapped into STS 4.17.1) :
To import it, I do "Import Existing maven project" on the maven project :
What works : After completing the 2 missing steps, when I run the .feature through eclipse cucumber plugin (Run as "Cucumber feature") or through "mvn test", I get :
Scenario: a few cukes # src/test/resources/io/cucumber/skeleton/belly.feature:3
Given I have 42 cukes in my belly # io.cucumber.skeleton.StepDefinitions.I_have_cukes_in_my_belly(int)
When I wait 1 hour # io.cucumber.skeleton.StepDefinitions.i_wait_hour(java.lang.Integer)
growl !
Then my belly should growl # io.cucumber.skeleton.StepDefinitions.my_belly_should_growl()
1 Scenarios (1 passed)
3 Steps (3 passed)
0m1,134s
What doesn't work (related to the eclipse cucumber plugin ?), 3. and 4. are the main issues :
In Eclipse, output starts with :
janv. 31, 2023 3:23:38 PM cucumber.api.cli.Main run
WARNING: You are using deprecated Main class. Please use io.cucumber.core.cli.Main
This may or may not be important for the following not working items.
1b. "growl !" is displayed BEFORE the step where it is implemented :
#Then("my belly should growl")
public void my_belly_should_growl() {
System.out.println("growl !");
}
In Eclipse, I'm getting this message despite all the "quiet" properties positionned in the right .properties files :

I'm not getting any generated cucumber report in maven "target" directory
If I do "Run as JUnit" in Eclipse on this project to get a visual report in the JUnit tab, I get :
org.junit.platform.suite.engine.NoTestsDiscoveredException: Suite [io.cucumber.skeleton.RunCucumberTest] did not discover any tests
I'd like to see the cucumber tests like this in Eclipse :
Please help me make Cucumber work in Eclipse or at least generate an html cucumber report in target.

what I can say you regarding your q:
seems like the answer is here: github issue thread
1b. I do not see in the repo you provided this example, so it is hard to say what is wrong here, I am assuming you have an extra repo with updated skeleton, so you may provide more details
have you checked this thread? quite props
What I know about Cucumber reports, you need in your Runner class, you set a path to your json cucumber report:
#CucumberOptions(
features = "src/test/resources/functionalTests",
glue= {"stepDefinitions"},
plugin = { "pretty", "json:target/cucumber-reports/Cucumber.json" },
monochrome = true )
More examples are here: cucumber reports
Check if your setup is correct, I think the best place for it is: Running Cucumber Tests
