Parallel execution is not happening with Cucumber Junit

Question

I made this configuration in POM.xml file to run the test in parallel. But when I call mvn verify using cmd only one browser is running with one feature and after completing execution of one feature file another feature is running. I am using cucumber & cucumber-junit 7.3.2 and particular junit version 4.13.2

Here is my pom.xml code:

<build>

                    </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
        </build>

I solved it the following way:

1. Added Junit-Jupiter dependency 5.8.2
2. Added surefire-junit47 dependency 2.22.2 inside maven-surefire-plugin itself.

This is the latest configuration which I am doing on 13-june-2022. Below is my complete configuration:

<properties>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
        <cucumber.version>7.3.2</cucumber.version>
        <selenium.version>4.1.4</selenium.version>
        <webdrivermanager.version>5.1.1</webdrivermanager.version>
        <org.apache.poi.version>5.2.2</org.apache.poi.version>
        <junit-jupiter-api>5.8.2</junit-jupiter-api>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <maven.compiler.version>3.8.1</maven.compiler.version>
        <maven.surefire.version>2.22.2</maven.surefire.version>
        <maven.failsafe.version>2.22.2</maven.failsafe.version>
    </properties>
