General Board / Associations

Great work guys, the associations are getting much closer. There is one thing I still cannot find a way to do however.
If multiplicity of the "part-end" of an association is n you should be able to select the data type used for this variable. Like you can when you are dealing with any other attribute.
For example, if I have ClassA which has a composition association with ClassB, where ClassB is the "part-end", I should be able to use a collection data type for the attribute in ClassA.
In Java:
LinkedList m_ClassB;
rather than,
ClassB m_ClassB;
How do I do this?
