i just want to walk a damn list

have tried various things in the neighborhood of...

{% for name in {{ pillar['damnjava']['apps'] }} %}
java_app_{{ name }}: 
  file.symlink:
    - name: /etc/alternatives/{{ name }}
    - target: /opt/software/java/bin/{{ name }}
{% endfor %}

my pillar looks like...

damnjava:
  apps:
    - ControlPanel
    - servertool
    - java-rmi.cgi
    - schemagen
    - jstack
    - javafxpackager
    - jmc
[...]

the error i'm getting makes no sense

----------
    Rendering SLS 'base:animate-app-group.java7' failed: Jinja syntax error: expected token ':', got '}'; line 19
