Configuration option for non-greedy matchers for steps
------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBEHAVE-312
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-312
Project: JBehave
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: James Ravn
The biggest sore point for my team are the greedy reg-ex matchers for step
prose.
This was somewhat solved in another ticket which added a {{priority}} field to
the annotation.
However, this does not scale well with a large amount of steps. It's
unmanageable, and a bit ugly, to have to worry about a global priority number.
This problem would be best fixed if the reg-ex matcher was simply non-greedy. A
usable solution, I think, would be to provide a configuration option in the
StepsConfiguration to enable this.
(On a side note, you may want to consider moving to a feature rich templating
language like velocity).
