XStream exception on generic list

Using XStream 1.4.4.

I have the following XML:

<app name="MyApp">
    <properties>
        <property name="fizz" value="buzz" />
        <property name="foo" value="bar" />
    </properties>

    <fruit type="apple" />

    <!-- ...etc. -->
</app>

And respective POJOs for the list of properties, as well as the properties themselves:

@XStreamAlias("properties")
public class Properties {
    private List<Property> properties = new ArrayList<Property>();

    public List<Property> getProperties() {
        return properties;
    }

    public void setProperties(List<Property> properties) {
        this.properties = properties;
    }
}

@XStreamAlias("property")
public class Property {
    private String name = null;

    private String value = null;

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getValue() {
        return value;
    }

    public void setValue(String value) {
        this.value = value;
    }
}

When I try running the following code:

XStream xs = new XStream();
Strnig xml = getXML(); // Fetches the string of XML from above
App app = (App)xs.fromXML(xml);

I get:

Exception in thread "main" com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.reflection.AbstractReflectionConverter$UnknownFieldException: No such field com.me.myapp.Properties.property

Where am I going wrong?

You don't need annotations at all. Just use alias Property.class as "properties" and XStream will take care of everything else for you.
