If we are using the JUnit framework to run Cucumber, we need to create a single empty class, as shown:

package steps;

import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber"})
public class RunCukesTest { 
}

With this, we can run the tests in the same way as we run the typical JUnit tests.
