that's fine, no problem,  indeed the plugin implies it runs cucumber under 
bundle exec , I do not mind to rename it to something proper ....

see my previous comment, cucumber-builder - that's fine

- display_ID is optional, you do not have to set it and may live it blank, 
sorry the screenshot on doc page is outdated, display_ID in last version is 
in advanced settings and is not shown by default ... 
- it does not assume any type of tests but cucumber, selenium . chrome, 
firiefox, whatever - the plugin agnostic about this ...

| requires the use of profiles 
not a big deal , I think in _most_ cases people use at least _default_ 
profile, is not it? anyway, it's not that hard to make profile parameter 
optional ... ( next versions )

indeed you know! the plugin shows report status in default cucumber output 
format ( shows  which features fails ) , and it's even easier to make 
report output format  configurable ( default, progressive , ... ) in next 
plugin versions ....

not show in plugin documentation but one may check  "ignore failures" 
option to let jenkins go to next bulder step even though cucumber tests run 
in plugins fail ... plugin just would write test.fail in workspace   
directory - to be accessible in next builders .
