In the following JAXB scenario:

@XmlRootElement(name = "root")
public class Root {

    @XmlElementRefs({
        @XmlElementRef(name = "time", type = JAXBElement.class),
        @XmlElementRef(name = "date", type = JAXBElement.class)
    })
    protected List<JAXBElement<XMLGregorianCalendar>> dateOrTime = new LinkedList<JAXBElement<XMLGregorianCalendar>>();

The "dateOrTime" variable is typed as [List], but pre-initialized to a [LinkedList].

Currently in Eclipselink we will only recognize that the variable is of type list and when building the object we will instantiate the default collection class, which is [Vector].

A check should be added to see if the List variable is already initialized during class instantiation, and then use that collection instead of creating a new one.
