How to make cuke4duke find step definitions - maven

Question

I have configured cuke4duke and Cucumber with maven and written feature and step definition files.
My feature file is located at [ProjectDir]\features\example2.feature
Feature: Example of a feature file
As some aspiring cuke4duke user
I want an example of how it works
So that I can easily setup my project to use it
# This should pass
Scenario: A simple passing scenario
Given the letter 'A'
When I check the letter
Then the letter should be 'A'
My step definitions are located at [ProjectDir]\src\test\java\Example2Steps.java
package test.java;
import cuke4duke.annotation.I18n.EN.Given;
import cuke4duke.annotation.I18n.EN.Then;
import cuke4duke.annotation.I18n.EN.When;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
public class Example2Steps {
private char theLetter;
#Given("^the letter 'A'$")
public void gimmeALetter(final char theLetter) {
this.theLetter = theLetter;
}
#When("^I check the letter$")
public void checkThem() {
// just a stub
}
#Then("^the letter should be 'A'$")
public void checkTheLetter(final char aLetter) {
assertThat(theLetter, is(aLetter));
}
}
When I run "mvn integration-test" at project dir in Windows command prompt it builds fine, but tells me that the scenario and steps are undefined.
Output:

[INFO] You can implement step definitions for undefined steps with these snippets:
[INFO]
[INFO] Given /^the letter 'A'$/ do
[INFO] pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
[INFO] end
[INFO]
[INFO] When /^I check the letter$/ do
[INFO] pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
[INFO] end
[INFO]
[INFO] Then /^the letter should be 'A'$/ do
[INFO] pending # express the regexp above with the code you wish you had
[INFO] end
[INFO]
[INFO] If you want snippets in a different programming language, just make sure a file
[INFO] with the appropriate file extension exists where cucumber looks for step definitions.

As far as I can read anywhere, cuke4duke looks for step definitions at [ProjectDir]\src\test\java\, why can't it find my definitions?

Answer 1

In the end it was wrong case in some of my Maven pom tags that caused the error.
I cross-checked my pom and other project files with the following
example project, and now it all works!
