Is there a way to directly generate Step Definitions in Eclipse without Running Cucumber?

Question

Im doing integration testing with cucumber and Gradle in Eclipse.

For now my workflow is

1. Write a feature file
2. Run it to generate step skeletons

Answer 1

Why is this a problem in Eclipse? If the feature file is big, then you only copy the modified scenario to a new feature file, and generate steps based on the new feature file.
