Querydsl needs properly encoded List Set, Collection and Map properties in all code generation scenarios.

When using improperly encoded fields or getters you might the following stacktrace:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Caught exception for field com.mysema.query.jdoql.testdomain.Store#products

Examples of problematic field declarations and their corrections:

    private Collection names; // WRONG

    private Collection<String> names; // RIGHT

    private Map employeesByName; // WRONG

    private Map<String,Employee> employeesByName; // RIGHT
