JavaConverters
A variety of decorators that enable converting between Scala and Java collections using extension methods, asScala and asJava.
The extension methods return adapters for the corresponding API.
The following conversions are supported via asScala and asJava:
scala.collection.Iterable       <=> java.lang.Iterable
scala.collection.Iterator       <=> java.util.Iterator
scala.collection.mutable.Buffer <=> java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Set    <=> java.util.Set
scala.collection.mutable.Map    <=> java.util.Map
scala.collection.concurrent.Map <=> java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap
    
   The following conversions are supported via asScala and through specially-named extension methods to convert to Java collections, as shown:
scala.collection.Iterable    <=> java.util.Collection   (via asJavaCollection)
scala.collection.Iterator    <=> java.util.Enumeration  (via asJavaEnumeration)
scala.collection.mutable.Map <=> java.util.Dictionary   (via asJavaDictionary)
    
   In addition, the following one-way conversions are provided via asJava:
scala.collection.Seq         => java.util.List
scala.collection.mutable.Seq => java.util.List
scala.collection.Set         => java.util.Set
scala.collection.Map         => java.util.Map
    
   The following one way conversion is provided via asScala:
java.util.Properties => scala.collection.mutable.Map
    
   In all cases, converting from a source type to a target type and back again will return the original source object. For example:
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
val source = new scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer[Int]
val target: java.util.List[Int] = source.asJava
val other: scala.collection.mutable.Buffer[Int] = target.asScala
assert(source eq other)
    
   Alternatively, the conversion methods have descriptive names and can be invoked explicitly.
scala> val vs = java.util.Arrays.asList("hi", "bye")
vs: java.util.List[String] = [hi, bye]
scala> val ss = asScalaIterator(vs.iterator)
ss: Iterator[String] = <iterator>
scala> .toList
res0: List[String] = List(hi, bye)
scala> val ss = asScalaBuffer(vs)
ss: scala.collection.mutable.Buffer[String] = Buffer(hi, bye)
