Daniel Schneller commented on JBEHAVE-702:
------------------------------------------
Should not be anything special you need to do. I tried your method with the
annotations (copy and pasted them), and it worked ok. I suspect you might not
have switched to 3.6 after all. Maybe double check (if need be with a
debugger), which JAR is being loaded at runtime. However, I think further bug
hunting is not for JIRA, but would better happen on a mailing list?

> To get more natural German story texts, it would be very helpful if the
> Steps.listCandidates() method could be amended.
> This would allow for automatically generating slight variations of the texts
> without having to specify them all as aliases. Currently I am doing this:
> @Then("soll foo bar with $xyz")
> @Aliases(values = {
> "foo bar with $xyz",
> "soll foo bar: $xyz",
> "foo bar: $xyz" })
> The word "soll" is made optional this way. The reasoning behind this is that
> when using "And" it is more natural to write
> Then soll something else
> And foo bar with $xyz
> instead of
> Then soll something else
> And soll foo bar with $xyz
> It would be very nice to not have define aliases for all these variants,
> because it makes the code harder to maintain. Instead, I though I'd add this
> dynamically, the same way annotated Aliases are, but it seems this
> functionality would require providing a new subclass of
> org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps which I cannot see how to do.
> I suggest a change like this:
> 1) In org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps add another call in listCandidates() after
> each of the addCandidatesFromAliases(...) like
> addCustomDerivedCandidates(...) with the same signature and a protected empty
> default implementation.
> 2) Allow configuration to specify a custom subclass of
> org.jbehave.core.steps.Steps. In there custom additions to the candidates
> list could be made, like the one I described.
