Mauro Talevi updated JBEHAVE-148:
---------------------------------

      Description: 
Automated the process of writing the matching Java steps by auto-generating 
stubs for steps from template. It would involve defining a template of steps 
that specifies the name and type of the parameter (with a given convention, 
such as colon separated).  So, e.g.

Given a condition $condition:Condition
When an $event:Event
Then the result is $result:Result

which would map steps 

Given a condition aCondition
When an anEvent
Then the result is aResult

to methods

@Given("a condition $condition")
public void aCondition(Condition condition){
}

@When("an event $event")
public void anEvent(Event event){
}

@Then("the result is $result")
public void theResultIs(Result result){
}

We'd also need to decide how to integrated with existing step execution.  We 
could output the generated steps via a bespoke reporter Format.



  was:
At the moment, the process of writing the matching Java steps is manual, 
although automating their generation from the scenario textual template may be 
useful.   It would involve defining a template of scenario steps, e.g. 

Given a condition $condition:Condition
When an $event:Event
Then the result is $result:Result

which would map to methods

@Given("a condition $condition")
public void aCondition(Condition condition){
}

@When("an event $event")
public void anEvent(Event event){
}

@Then("the result is $result")
public void theResultIs(Result result){
}

Note that the template must specify the name and type of the parameter (with a 
given convention, e.g. colon separated). 

We'd also need to come up with some "runner", that can play well both in IDE 
and in CLI.  Something like a Template, akin to Scenario, that would match the 
match the template name (like scenario files match the scenario class).
