Expected: Plugin should recognize my feature files in the path mentioned in
${src.main.java}/com.qa.features
Actual: Feature files are not recognized

You need to add below tag in cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin plug-in
<featuresDirectory>src/main/resources/Feature</featuresDirectory>
Full plugin like:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.temyers</groupId>
<artifactId>cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generateRunners</id>
<phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>generateRunners</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<glue>
<package>${gluePackage}</package>
</glue>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/cucumber</outputDirectory>
<featuresDirectory>${featuresDir}</featuresDirectory>
<cucumberOutputDir>target/cucumber-parallel</cucumberOutputDir>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<name>json</name>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<strict>true</strict>
<monochrome>true</monochrome>
<tags>
<tag>${tag1}</tag>
</tags>
<!-- <tags> <tag>${tags}</tag> <tag>~#ignore</tag> </tags> -->
<useTestNG>false</useTestNG>
<namingScheme>simple</namingScheme>
<namingPattern>Parallel{c}IT</namingPattern>
<parallelScheme>FEATURE</parallelScheme>
<customVmTemplate></customVmTemplate>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
