How to use scala.collection.immutable.List in a Java code

Question

I need to write a code that compares performance of Java\'s ArrayList with Scala\'s List. I am having a hard time getting the Scala List

Answer 1

I think the easiest route would be to start with a java interface and implement that in scala. For example create a java.util.List-implementation around the scala list in scala. Typically like this:

class ScalaList[T](val ts: T*) extends java.util.List[T] {

  // Add all the methods, but implement only the neccessary ones
  // Add all ts

}
