Cucumber .feature file is not getting linked to stepDefinition.java in Eclipse

Question

I have installed Natural 0.7.6 plug-in from eclipse marketplace and I have Windows 10. Eclipse version: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: 2020-03 (4.15.0) Build id: 20200313-1211

Maven dependencies related to Cucumber:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
    <version>5.7.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
        <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
        <version>5.7.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>   
  </dependencies>

.feature file

step definition file

  [1]: [https://i.sstatic.net/e22x3.png][1]
  [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/cAfLY.png

The .feature file complains about "No definition found for ". CTRL+CLICK on .feature file step is not navigating to stepDefinition file (screenshots attached). Am I missing any plugin? Is there any compatibility issues with Eclipse IDE version and the Cucumber plug-in I am using? I appreciate your help guys.

Answer 1

Steps to make it work.

1. Clear out all the cucumber related plugins(e.g. Natural 0.9, cucumber eclipse plugin 1.0.0.xxxxx). Please do follow the suggestion of restarting your eclipse.
2. Go to Help --> Eclipse Market place --> Install 'cucumber-eclipse' plugin. Please do follow the suggestion of restarting your eclipse.
3. Right click on your project --> Configure --> Convert to Cucumber project.
4. Now try to navigate to your step definition by 'Ctrl+click' on test step in feature file

Edit: I also changed JRE system library to 1.8( I am not sure it has any influence to make cucumber work )

Answer 2

With the Cucumber Eclipse plugin, cleaning the Cucumber project (Project > Clean...) made the Gherkin steps Ctrl+click-able again.
