How do I construct a ConstraintViolationException in Bean Validation 1.0?

Question

I am puzzled by the javax.validation API. I am writing a simple test to understand it:

Sample sample = new Sample();
Set>

You can work around this like so:

throw new ConstraintViolationException(
    new HashSet>(violations));
