Description

This is the same as CONFIGURATION-427 except that it applies to setProperty which was missed in the original fix.

final FileBasedConfigurationBuilder<FileBasedConfiguration> builder =
        new FileBasedConfigurationBuilder<>(XMLPropertyListConfiguration.class);
final FileBasedConfiguration configuration = builder.getConfiguration();
configuration.setProperty("things", ['chair', 'hat', 'door']);
final FileHandler fileHandler = new FileHandler(configuration);
fileHandler.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>
