Description

groovy> import org.apache.commons.configuration.plist.* 
groovy> def config = new XMLPropertyListConfiguration() 
groovy> config.addProperty("things", ['chair', 'hat', 'door'])  
groovy> config.save(System.out) 

results in

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>things</key>
        <string>chair</string>

        <key>things</key>
        <string>hat</string>

        <key>things</key>
        <string>door</string>
    </dict>
</plist>

expecting

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
        <key>things</key>
        <array>
          <string>chair</string>
          <string>hat</string>
          <string>door</string>
      </array>
    </dict>
</plist>
