Eclipse shows "missing EOF at 'Examples:'" when splitting Examples into sets giving each a name

[Ram Raghu]

Hi,

I am using cucumber-jvm and eclipse IDE to write Gherkin steps. Following the "Cucumber for Java Book", when I try to seperate the examples into two sets, Eclipse IDE shows the error "missing EOF at 'Examples:'" at the line where the second Examples: keyword is present.

Can someone please help explain whats wrong with this?

Scenario Outline: Password validation

Given I try to create an account with password "<Password>"

Then I should see that the password is <Valid or Invalid>

Examples: Too Short

Passwords are invalid if less than 4 characters

| Password | Valid or Invalid |

| abc | invalid |

| ab1 | invalid |

Examples: Letters and Numbers   -------> This is where the eclipse IDE indicates the error.

Passwords need both letters and numbers to be valid

| Password | Valid or Invalid |

| abc1 | valid |

| abcd | invalid |

| abcd1 | valid |

This seems like an Eclipse problem, especially if you are able to run the feature file through cucumber with no issues.   Maybe file a bug with whatever cucumber plugins/add-on is being used with eclipse? 

(alternatively you could look at another IDE such as jetbrains's stuff..  I use their rubymine IDE with ruby cucumber code and it has no issues with splitting example sets as you are doing.  )

Thank you for taking time to answer the question. Yes, the tests work fine when run from command line. Its just the IDE showing the error. I will log this issue with cucumber-eclipse team.
