JMeter - How to pass an array into a property variable?

I have a BeanShell PostProcessor under the setUp Thread Group.
It generates an ArrayList that I want to pass as a system property to the test Thread Groups in the Test Plan.
That array contains the number of threads in the test groups.
What is the syntax? How should I refer an element of that array in the Tread Group "Number of Threads (users)"?

This is what I have in the setUp Thread Group

ArrayList users = new ArrayList();
${__setProperty(users, ${users})};

This is what I put in the Number of Threads 

${__P(users).get(0)}

It does not work.
Thanks enter image description here enter image description here

If you really need the "ArrayList" you can go it using bsh.shared namespace

  1. In setUp Thread Group put the ArrayList into the "bsh.shared" namespace like:

    ArrayList users = new ArrayList();
users.add(5);
bsh.shared.users=users;

  2. In normal Thread Group you can read the value via __BeanShell function as:

    ${__BeanShell(bsh.shared.users.get(0),)}

However I feel that your test is badly designed and you could get rid of scripting or at least of using arrays.
