***************my testRunner class is as follow:*******************
import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

I was having a similar issue running cucumber tests using approximately the same versions, where scenarios were not getting retried.
Solution was to bump the fail-safe plugin version to 2.21.0 as well as bump the cucumber versions.
The hint is provided in the following page: https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/examples/rerun-failing-tests.html
Since of 2.21.0 the provider surefire-junit47 can rerun scenarios
created by cucumber-jvm 2.0.0 and higher.
So change the group info.cukes to io.cucumber and set version appropriately, e.g.:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
and the fail-safe plugin:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.21.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>integration-tests</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<systemProperties combine.children="append" />
<rerunFailingTestsCount>2</rerunFailingTestsCount>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Note that the rerunFailingTestsCount parameter worked both in the configuration as shown here or as a property (e.g. mvn clean verify -Dfailsafe.rerunFailingTestsCount=2).

Which dependency auto imports struts dependency

I want to remove struts dependency from my repository.It is being auto imported by some other dependency.
I think it is org.apache.velocity but after putting exclusion as well, Maven imports struts. Please help me identify which dependency auto imports struts.

I can't give you a pom.xml file with the correct exclusions, but you may try running the following command from your project root folder:
man dependency:tree
Then, copy the output into a text editor and do a search for struts. If one or more of the other dependencies is bringing it in, you should see that happening. Then, once you have identified the dependencies which are including it, you may exclude it:
<dependency>
<groupId>sample.ProjectA</groupId>
<artifactId>Project-A</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId>
<artifactId>struts-core</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>

It's possible that Maven is downloading Struts for its own purposes. I know that until fairly recently, the maven-dependency-plugin and the maven-javadoc-plugin both had Struts as a dependency.
Try temporarily removing all of your own dependencies from the project and see if the problem still happens.
On that point, it would help with answering your question if you could tell us what Maven command reproduces the problem.

Invalid END Header Error within my POM file - Eclipse

I am new to eclipse java and I am having an issue with my POM file and would like guidance in knowing how to deal with this error I am obtaining.
I have an error that seems to be pointing to the the maven compiler plugin and I am not sure what is the best approach to fix the following error:

[rest of pom omitted]
Can u please help me resolve this issue..

I don't think the problem is with the pom.xml - it looks like the standard Mahout 0.5 one. You need to explain what you are trying to do in Eclipse. In general, to use Maven projects in Eclipse, you need to install the M2Eclipse plugin. Then in Eclipse select
File->Import->Maven->Existing Maven Project
and select the Mahout project on the filesystem.
I checked out Mahout 0.5
svn checkout http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/mahout/tags/mahout-0.5/
then imported into Eclipse as I describe above. I did get some errors but different to you e.g.
maven-dependency-plugin (goals "copy-dependencies", "unpack") is not supported
by m2e. pom.xml /mahout-examples line 54 Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping
Problem
this is a known issue and can be solved by putting <pluginManagement> tags around <plugins> in <build>. However it is not the problem you describe.

I solved this issue after setting proxy in Maven setting.xml

In Eclipse try following steps:
Right click the project->Maven->Update Project
Check checkbox "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases"
Click OK.

What is the correct maven groovy gmaven pom configuration?

Hello I'm trying to use groovy with java, on java maven project, I think I provided every artifacts and plugins needed to run it well, here is my pom :
pom content
and here is the exception caught after trying to build
I linked it to pastebin cause I enabled -X option to get full stack trace trace

Finally I found a way to get a pom working with gmaven 1.4, groovy 2.0 and java 7, inspired by this project "primefaces-groovy-cassandra"
here is a simple pom of a war type application :
`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>`
