Java <-> Scala interop: transparent List and Map conversion

Question

I am learning Scala and I have a Java project to migrate to Scala. I want to migrate it by rewriting classes one-by-one and checking that new class didn\'t break the project

Answer 1

With Scala 2.8, it could be done like this:

import scala.collection.JavaConversions._

val list = new java.util.ArrayList[String]()
list.add("test")
val scalaList = list.toList
