Lists and/with Configs?

This is really frustrating me.
I need to use config.getNodeList() and assign that to a variable for later use. I've been trying everything I could think of, but I cannot figure out how to assign it to a variable.
I figured it would be this:

Code:

List<String> ls = config.getNodeList("invs", null);

however I get an error.
And yes, config IS a proper loaded config, and invs is defined.
Could anybody help me with this simple problem?

 

This one is pretty simple to solve in Eclipse.
I typed:

And it showed me exactly what was returned:

In other words:

Code:

List<ConfigurationNode> nodes = config.getNodeList(...);

 

Eclipse shows that as an error. It wants me to remove the type arguments

Oh fail. i imported java.awt instead of java.util
