com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.ConversionException while running jmeter script using maven eclipse

Question

I have integrated my jmeter script with maven. I have jmeter plugin manager also. While running it, i am getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException which is resulting into above exception. I have added dependency for jmeter plugin manager and xstream but still i am getting same error.

exactly same kind of issue has been discussed here, but the content now has been removed. https://github.com/jmeter-maven-plugin/jmeter-maven-plugin/issues/194

Don't use pom dependencies as you did in:

kg.apc:jmeter-plugins:pom:1.3.1

It should work
