Ok, it doesnt make sense, but for i quick conversion i tried to do this

class {

public java.util.Set myvariable;

public Set getMyvariable() { return myvariable;}
public Set setMyvariable(Set avar) { myvariable= avar; }
}

I may have missed it in the docs or maybe im imagining it, but when i change the variable declaration it works, and when i dont it explodes horribly. thoughts -- or at least a pointer to a paragraph that i missed along the way.

i have read everything i can see, and though the big words scared me here and there, i thought i caught them all.
