Cucumber tests won't run

Question

I'm trying to use Cucumber to register a user on a web app but every time I run Registration.java as a Junit test, I get the initialisation error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io/cucumber/core/options/CucumberOptionsAnnotationParser$OptionsProvider". How can I fix this?

Feature: User Registration

  @web
  Scenario Outline: Validate Registration Field
    Given User on webapp
    When I enter username as "Mia" and password as "Mia1234"
    And I submit login page

    Examples: 
      | uname  | pass | 
      | Mia |   Mia1234  |

StepDef.java

package stepdefinitions;

import cucumber.api.java.en.Given;
import cucumber.api.java.en.When;
import cucumber.api.java.en.Then;

public class StepDef {
 
 @Given("^User on webapp$")
 public void user_on_webapp() throws Throwable {
  System.out.print("Webapp is open");
 }

 @When("^I enter username as \"([^\"]*)\" and password as \"([^\"]*)\"$")
 public void i_enter_username_as_and_password_as(String arg1, String arg2) throws Throwable {
  System.out.print("Enter the username and password in the fields");
 }
 
 @When("^I submit login page$")
 public void i_submit_login_page() throws Throwable {
  System.out.print("Clicked on submit button");
 }

 @Then("^I redirect to UserHome page$")
 public void i_redirect_to_user_home_page() throws Throwable {
  System.out.print("Successfully logged in");
 }
 
}

Registration.java

package stepdefinitions;

import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;
import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber;

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(features="classpath:test.feature", glue = "stepdefinitions", plugin = {"html:target/test-report"})
public class Registration {
  
}

Answer 1

I replaced all the dependencies in my pom.xml file with these dependencies.

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
            <version>7.10.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-junit</artifactId>
            <version>7.10.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
            <artifactId>cucumber-core</artifactId>
            <version>7.10.1</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Then I replaced the import statements in my StepDef.java with

import io.cucumber.java.en.*

Finally in my Registration.java file, I replaced

import cucumber.api.CucumberOptions;

with

import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions;
