Expected: Plugin should recognize my feature files in the path mentioned in ${src.main.java}/com.qa.features Actual: Feature files are not recognized

You need to add below tag in cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin plug-in

<featuresDirectory>src/main/resources/Feature</featuresDirectory>

Full plugin like:

<plugin>
                <groupId>com.github.temyers</groupId>
                <artifactId>cucumber-jvm-parallel-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>4.1.0</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>generateRunners</id>
                        <phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>generateRunners</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <glue>
                                <package>${gluePackage}</package>
                            </glue>

                            <featuresDirectory>${featuresDir}</featuresDirectory>
                            <cucumberOutputDir>target/cucumber-parallel</cucumberOutputDir>
                            <plugins>
                                <plugin>
                                    <name>json</name>
                                </plugin>

                            <monochrome>true</monochrome>
                            <tags>
                                <tag>${tag1}</tag>
                            </tags>
                            <!-- <tags> <tag>${tags}</tag> <tag>~@ignore</tag> </tags> -->
                            <useTestNG>false</useTestNG>
                            <namingScheme>simple</namingScheme>
                            <namingPattern>Parallel{c}IT</namingPattern>
                            <parallelScheme>FEATURE</parallelScheme>
                            <customVmTemplate></customVmTemplate>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
