Using getList(" ") in FileConfiguration?

Ok so I am struggling on how to find out how to use this because everytime I use it I get this warning

Type safety: The expression of type List needs unchecked conversion to conform to List<String>

But everytime I use this it never works and I tried List<?> but thats obviously wrong.

If your stuck as to what i'm using this for i'm trying to get a list of players as strings so basically getting this list.

Code:

Players:
 
    - player1
 
    - player2
 
    - player3
 
etc....
 
[All help is appreciated Thank you

 

Thats work for me

Code:

List<String> clanNameList = plugin.getConfig().getList("Clans.List");

 

Do you still have the warning line under it though?

 

hehe yes i have it and i ignore it i have see this on the bukkit wiki

 

You cant fix it, if your using eclipse it will let you put @suppresswarnings() somewhere.

Its because getList(String) and even the newer getStringList(String) do dot produce List<String>, but rather (edit: ) List (Thanks Samkio).

 

They doesnt work because it requires an element or something and I was told by @Samkio not to use it

 

Well, they *work*, but they return warnings.

 

public List getList(String path);
It's a list.
