SonarQube catch 22 with serializable lists

Question

At first I had a class along the lines of:

public class MyClass implements Serializable {

    private List<Role> roles;

}

SonarQube pointed out that List, a member of a serializable class, is not serializable itself. Fair enough, I'll switch to a serializable implementation of List like ArrayList.

public class MyClass implements Serializable {

    private ArrayList<Role> roles;

}

At this point SonarQube is unhappy because "roles should use an interface such as 'List' rather than an implementation like 'ArrayList'" which brings me back to where I was originally.

Is there a way out of this loop?

It looks your issue was solved just two days ago.
