convert java.util.Map[String, Object] to scala.collection.immutable.Map[String, Any]

Question

How do I convert java.util.Map[String, Object] to scala.collection.immutable.Map[String, Any], so that all values in the original map (integers, booleans etc.) are converted

Answer 1

The JavaConversions package of Scala2.8 deals only with mutable collections.

The scalaj-collection library might help here.

java.util.Map[A, B]       #asScala: scala.collection.Map[A, B]
                          #asScalaMutable: scala.collection.mutable.Map[A, B]
                          #foreach(((A, B)) => Unit): Unit
