Feature: automatically convert data tables to lists of enums just as is done with classes

[newmanne]

Let's say I have a test that reads:

Then I see these colors:
  | color |
  | RED |
  | YELLOW |
  | BLUE |

and I have an enum that reads

public static enum Color {
        RED, YELLOW, BLUE
}

then in the step definition I want to do something like:

@Then("^I see the following colors$")
public void I_see_the_following_colors(List<Color> colors) {
}

Currently I get:

cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Can't assign null value to one of the primitive fields in com.Color ColorStepDefinitions$color. Please use boxed types.

It would be great if the behavior would mimic what is being done for classes, as in the shopping cart example in hello world and just do the conversion for me.

Fixing this might be related to #320.

In order for this to work we'd probably have to skip the header:

Then I see these colors:
  | RED    |
  | YELLOW |
  | BLUE   |

This is fixed in 1.0.10
