Pom.xml file is used to install all the necessary plugins i.e. cucumber for java plugin

Answer 1

Make sure you have installed and enabled the Cucumber for Java plugin from the JetBrains plugin repository.

Look in the File -> Settings...

And you cannot install plugins into IDEA via Maven.

Answer 2

Just to add on top of the Answer by- Eugene. While searching for Cucumber plugin, under File>Settings>plugins of Intellij you might not be able to see any Plugin available for cucumber and this is very weird issue for IntelliJ on windows.. troubled me for Hours.. But to solve it- we just have to click on 'Search in repositories' link as displayed on search panel. This will show all available stuff and you can select Cucumber for Java(or whatever).
