A one to many association mapped to a foreign key can never contain duplicate elements, so `Set` seems like the most semantically correct Java collection type to use here, and so that's the conventional practice in the Hibernate community.
A one-to-many association mapped to a foreign key can never contain duplicate elements, so `Set` seems like the most semantically correct Java collection type to use here, and so that's the conventional practice in the Hibernate community.

Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, since a quality `equals()` is independently useful.
