I'm assuming that "List" is the java.util.List interface, which does not 
extend Serializable.  Many implementations *are* serializable, but the 
interface itself is not.  FindBugs is warning you that it is possible to 
set the "children" and "attributes" fields to List implementations that 
are not serializable.
