Not able to define a list with identifier name "Class" in yang

I am trying to define following construct in a yang file:

container configuration {
list class {
key "name";
leaf name

{ type string; }
leaf value { type string; }

}
}

Now, when I try to generate source using Maven, it gives below compilation error:

[ERROR] \target\generated-sources\sal\org\opendaylight\yang\gen\v1\yang03\rev150802\configuration\ClassBuilder.java:[14
,21] error: type Class does not take parameters

It appears that this construct is getting mapped to java.lang.Class
