Hi Blair, The underlying property is a list of strings. What you get when you use it in a POM is the string representation. You would have to get your program to translate it into a class path. Since your app is taking it as a parameter, it should be able to do that. Just strip off the beginning and ending brackets and split the string at the commas.
