Following things are working here -

1. report is generated successfully by Jbehave
2. HTML reports are archived successfully.
3. Jbehave tests are parsed and placed expected location.
4. [xUnit] [ERROR] - The plugin hasn't been performed correctly: hudson.util.IOException2: Failed to read xml file

I have validated mentioned xml file is present and can view through jenkins workspace.
