How to use an external dataTable in Cucumber?

I'm using Cucumber and Java to write BDD tests.

I wanted to migrate from usung datatables in feature files, because I have a lot of fields and it's dublicated for a few steps, to using link to the table with values.
From this one approach:

GIVEN I created account with
| name | type  |
| test | basic |

to the approach:

GIVEN I created account with account.table

account.table file has value:

| name | type  |
| test | basic |

I don't know how to parse 'path to the file with dataTable' to the actual 'dataTable'.
I tried write step like this:

@GIVEN("^I created account with \"([^\"]*)\"$")
    public void createAccount(DataTable dataTable) { ... }

But it's not working. Because there are no automatic convertion from path to file to dataTable.
Here's the error:

> cucumber.runtime.CucumberException: Don't know how to convert
> "resources\testdata\account.table" into cucumber.api.DataTable. Try
> writing your own converter:
> @cucumber.deps.com.thoughtworks.xstream.annotations.XStreamConverter(DataTableConverter.class)

Is there any examples of parsing it or any ideas?

Did it with following code, but wanted something easy and out of Cucumber box itself:

public void readFromExternalTable(String fileName) throws IOException {
List<String> lines = readLinesFromFile(fileName);
List<String> headers = getColumnsFromRow(lines.get(0));
List<String> values = getColumnsFromRow(lines.get(1));
DataTable table = createTable(headers, values);
}
static List<String> readLinesFromFile(String fileName) {
List<String> lines = new ArrayList<>();
BufferedReader reader;
try {
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
String line;
while ((line =  reader.readLine()) != null) {
lines.add(line);
}
reader.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return lines;
}
static List<String> getColumnsFromRow(String line) {
List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
String[] row  = line.split("\\|");
for (int i = 1; i < row.length; i++) {
list.add(row[i].trim());
}
return list;
}
static <String> DataTable createTable(List<String> headers, List<String> values) {
List<List<String>> rawTable = new ArrayList<>();
rawTable.add(headers);
rawTable.add(values);
return DataTable.create(rawTable);
}

You can take external test data benefit and many more with QAF-BDD2. It has inbuilt data-providers and supports custom data provider as well. Below example is to provide data from CSV.

@dataFile:resources/data/newuser.csv
Scenario: create new user
