記錄maven java.lang.String cannot be cast to XX error

     在項目開發中自定義了一個maven plugin，在本地能夠很好的工作，但是在ci server上卻無法正常工作報錯為：

      在花費了我大半的時間，將本地環境的maven，jdk等設為和ci一致后最后定位到maven的版本問題，其終究原因是因為maven在3.0.3才支持配置參數為泛型集合(List<T>,Set<T>...)，在3.0.2及一下本班不支持此寫法。

     修改次error的方法有兩種：

1. 將ci Server的maven更新到3.0.3以上。(但是在我們的ci server更新有些困難，還有本人認為如果寫一個plugin只能工作的固定version，這和一個廢物差不多，所以選擇了第二種方法)。
2. 將泛型集合List<T>改為Array T[]。（項目中某大神寫的List<File>我輕易的改為File[].在執行前改為Arrays.asList(XXX)）;

     一切搞定。在此記錄希望對於遇見同類問題的人有所幫助。
