Cucumber maven 1 does not rerun failed tests and crashes generating pretty cucumber reports

I want to rerun failed cucumber tests.

If I set the following option to value 1 <rerunFailingTestsCount>1</rerunFailingTestsCount> then

net.masterthought
maven-cucumber-reporting
throws error and does not generate pretty cucumber error.

net.masterthought.cucumber.ReportBuilder generateErrorPage
INFO: Unexpected error 
net.masterthought.cucumber.ValidationException: File 'cucumber-report.json' is not a valid Cucumber report! No content to map due to end of input

If I set
the following option to value 0 <rerunFailingTestsCount>0</rerunFailingTestsCount> then net.masterthought
maven-cucumber-reporting generates pretty cucumber report properly but does not rerun failed tests.

Could you help me where is the problem ?
