On our previous post we learn how to setup cucumber projects in Eclipse. Now we learn how to setup a NetBeans for cucumber.

Prerequisite:
Need to be installed Java SDK and NetBeans. We discussed here how to install Java SDK and Netbeans.

Step 1:

We need to download below jars :

b. cucumber-java-1.2.4.jar (This provides the Java runtime environment for all tests.)
c. cucumber-jvm-deps-1.0.5.jar (This module provides the Java parser for cucumber)
d. gherkin-2.12.2.jar   (gherkin is the language cucumber’s feature stories are written in, and this module contains parsing instructions for the features)
e. cucumber-junit-1.2.4.jar (This jar required for customized JUnit framework with cucumber.)
f. cucumber-html-0.2.3.jar (This provides a nice output in html format upon test completion.)

We can download this jars from  maven repository
