Feature file giving warning "Step does not have a matching glue code"

Question

Cucumber Framework is not able to identify @Given/When/Then annotations but the execution is working fine. The warning sign will be always showing on the feature file with the message "Step does not have a matching glue code". Below are my pom.xml dependencies.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
      <artifactId>cucumber-java</artifactId>
      <version>6.10.3</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
      <artifactId>cucumber-testng</artifactId>
      <version>6.10.3</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
      <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
      <version>6.14.3</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>tech.grasshopper</groupId>
      <artifactId>extentreports-cucumber6-adapter</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.0</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.aventstack</groupId>
      <artifactId>extentreports</artifactId>
      <version>5.0.4</version>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>

if I change from io.cucumber to info.cukes, Then the warning sign will disappear. Please help me to understand how this error can be resolved

please try using this POM. Not sure if you have the plugins.
