Unable to generate Cucumber html report with selenium

I'm currently using Cucumber Framework with Selenium Java.I have updated the Pom xml file.
There are Java 11,
Selenium-java 4.2.2,
webdreivermanager 5.2.1,
cucumber java 7.3.4,
cucumber junit 7.3.4 dependencies in the pom xml file.
I also downloaded
maven-resources-plugin 3.1.0,
maven-failsafe-plugin 3.0.0-M4,
maven-surefire-plugin 3.0.0-M7 and
maven-cucumber-reporting 5.0.0 as Plugin.
When I run the tests after the update, only the results of Failed ones are shown in the cucumber html report or the results of some Testcases from different classes are displayed. I can't see the result of all the tests

Xvfb and thucydides/Selenium default path to run Firefox

CI Jenkins is running on CentOS headless machine under non-root user.
Xvfb packege is installed, when I try the hint from How can I specify a display?, i.e. manually set in the console
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
Xvfb :0
firefox &
and it works - the Xvfb output displays some firefox requests, Firefox output to the console.
When I run the same thing from maven, nothing happens. Please review my pom.xml:

The firefox and Xvfb utilities are chowned for the jenkins linux user and chmoded 777, so the permissions are not the root of the problem.
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
Is set to pre-build actions. Xvfb should be started by the maven selenium plugin and it is started according to the mavn output and own Xvfb log.
I'd like to know how Thucydides/Selenium defines how to find the Firefox binaries to run? May be they should be explicitly configured in jenkins profile somehow?
Actually, I couldn't resolve the problem in the way I liked, because despite of any combinations of DISPLAY variables, attributing files and binaries to the jenkins user and back to root, it was impossible to run Xvfb from the maven plugin config. However, the Xvfb Jenkins plugin worked fine! And if was more perfect for me, since I no longer need different mvn profiles to run on the local machine and on the CI (Xvfb run for the plugin was stored as jenkins profile),

How to specify the JAXB version in maven-jaxb2-plugin?

I need to use the latest version jaxb: 2.2.4-1, but maven or maven-jaxb2-plugin seems to pick up the one from the JDK.
I tried specifying the version like this:
<configuration>
<specVersion>2.2</specVersion>
...
</configuration>
but the logs read:
[INFO] [jaxb2:generate {execution: common}]
[INFO] Started execution.
[INFO] JAXB API is loaded from the [jar:file:/opt/jdk1.6.0_24/jre/lib/rt.jar!].
[INFO] Detected JAXB API version [2.1].
I tried to add dependencies to the correct versions of javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api and com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl, but that didn't help.
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>

</executions>
</plugin>

I also tried using maven-jaxb22-plugin but it also didn't work.
The following code is adapted from the default webapp that netbeans generates. It uses the dependency plugin to copy the jars to a temporary folder and specifies this folder as the endorsed directory to the compiler so it overrides the implementation in the jdk.

I attempted to use Jörn's solution, but it looks like maven-jaxb2-plugin went ahead and used the rt.jar version anyway, as I got the telling message from the plugin: [INFO] JAXB API is loaded from the [jar:file:/C:/jdk1.6.0_25/jre/lib/rt.jar!].
My unsuccessful version of the solution is slightly different in how it uses the dependency plugin, but that's the one part of the build that succeeds...

hey just I want to save time of the people.
for the people who work on jaxb-impl, the version jaxb-impl 2.2.4-1 that meant to fix a bug of the version 2.2.4, the pom of istack-commons-runtime under the META-INF Folder contain a reference to its parent pom 2.4-SNAPSHOT when it should be jsut 2.4, due this version isn't a snapshot.
<parent>
<groupId>com.sun.istack</groupId>
<artifactId>istack-commons</artifactId>
<version>2.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
so if you don't want to work with snapshot you will smash with this error, unless you want to add everything on your local repository you may have to update manually this version into the pom on the jar.
cheers,
Manuel.

Share test resources between maven projects

There is a clear solution for sharing the common test code between maven projects using test-jar goal of maven-jar-plugin plugin (see here).
I need to do the similar thing with test resources, in particular, I want test resources of project A be available in the classpath of project B during testing.
For project A one need to declare:
<!-- Package and attach test resources to the list of artifacts: -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<jar destfile="${project.build.directory}/test-resources.jar">
<fileset dir="${project.basedir}/test-resources" />
</jar>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>${project.build.directory}/test-resources.jar</file>
<type>jar</type>
<classifier>test-resources</classifier>
</artifact>
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And in project B it will be normal dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>myproject.groupId</groupId>
<artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>test-resources</classifier>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Question: Should it work in all cases? Is it possible to pack resources without maven-antrun-plugin (using more 'lightweight' plugin)?
Just use jar:test-jar and declare the resulting JAR as a dependency (refer to this guide for more details). And while I don't understand the problem of having resources and classes in this jar, you can always exclude all .class files:
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.class</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
And to use it:
<project>
...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.myco.app</groupId>
<artifactId>foo</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>test-jar</type>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
...
</project>
Accepted answer helped me, but it's not quite accurate in case you need regular jar of same project as well. It will delete *.class files from both jars.
Settings below translates to something like:
create me 2 jars: 1 regular, 1 test;
remove *.class files, but only from test jar
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>test-jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.class</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Using maven-dependency-plugin we can put the resource needed in the right directory, only modifying the pom on dependent project is needed:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>

There is already a goal to build a test jar from maven.
Assuming you need something a little more flexible, you can use the jar plugin to package your test resources and run that goal with the main package goal with something like this.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>test-resources</classifier>
<includes>
<include>**/*.whatever-you-want</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Whatever you want bundled would be added to the project-name-version-test-resources.jar when the jar goal is run.
You could then include it in a project via the same dependency you use above.
