Cucumber-JVM: Scenario Outlines and pretty formatting

[Robert]

There appears to be an issue with running Scenario Outlines using the pretty format feature.  The test passes if I use the progress switch.  Here is what I'm seeing when I run my test

Scenario Outline: This is an example of a scenario outline # /hello.feature:22

I've setup my pom file to look like

                    </execution>

                </executions>

And, here is the scenario

Scenario Outline: This is an example of a scenario outline

Given this is a scenario outline

When we concatenate <string_1> with <string_2>

Then the combined string is <string_3>

Examples:

|string_1    | string_2    | string_3    |

| hello      | world       | hello world |

Yeah, the pretty formatter (which lives in gherkin) has bugs in the
Scenario Outline handling. I have registered this as a bug:

Thanks, Aslak.  Along sort of the same line of thought, will the CLI also support the --no-color switch that is currently supported in the Ruby version of Cucumber?
