For the feature

Feature: One      
  Scenario Outline: Validate 
    Given ["<a>"|"<b>"|"<c>"|"<d>"|"<e>"|"<f>"|"<g>"|"<h>"|"<i>"|"<j>"|"<k>"|"<l>"]

  Examples:
    | a | b | c | d | e | f | g | h | i | j | k | l |
    ....

Auto generated step is

@Given("^\\[\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"|\"(.*?)\"\\]$")
public void (String arg1, String arg2, String arg3, String arg4, String arg5, String arg6, String arg7, String arg8, String arg9, String arg10, String arg11, String arg12) throws Throwable {
 ...          
}

but this method is not recognized. In IntelliJ, error Variable 'String' is already defined in scope for args (2,4,6,8,10 and 12) is thrown. Even spaces in method definiton (e.g. space between void and ( throws identifier expected. Whats wrong with this method?.

Side note: I don't know cucumber jvm, but the string looks like a regex to me: If it is a regex, note that the pipe symbol (`|`) is reserved and needs to be escaped. `\\|` – BackSlash Aug 06 '14 at 13:50
Guys, I don't mind a down vote but it helps if it is explained. – Bala Aug 06 '14 at 13:51
@BackSlash: You are right. Got it sorted. You could post it as an answer. – Bala Aug 06 '14 at 14:10
It seems to be missing method name – Sami Korhonen Aug 06 '14 at 14:12
