Continually getting NullPointerException

Hi, I am trying to set up running cucumber reports in a project as smoke tests, and cannot get around a NullPointerException when triggering the profile that runs the plugin. Can you please help?

The error is as follows: [INFO] --- maven-cucumber-reporting:0.0.6:generate (execution) @ project name here

About to generate java.io.FileNotFoundException: **\target\cucumber.json (The system cannot find the file specified) [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1.590 s [INFO] Finished at: 2015-11-23T11:25:52-05:00 [INFO] Final Memory: 10M/204M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal net.masterthought:maven-cucumber-reporting:0.0.6: generate (execution) on project rxspend-app: Error Found: NullPointerException -
