When I try to load a sequence into an object of type java.io.Set I got following exception :

```java

org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.YAMLException: org.yaml.snakeyaml.error.YAMLException: Cannot set property='children' with value='[Person [firstName=Bill, secondName=Lumbergh], Person [firstName=Jane, secondName=Lumbergh]]' (class java.util.ArrayList) in Person [firstName=Paul, secondName=Lumbergh]

Do you know any tips to load a set instead of a list ?
