Convert Map to Map

How can I convert Map to Map ?

This does not work:

Answer 1

Now that we have Java 8/streams, we can add one more possible answer to the list:

Assuming that each of the values actually are String objects, the cast to String should be safe. Otherwise some other mechanism for mapping the Objects to Strings may be used.

Map map = new HashMap<>();
Map newMap = map.entrySet().stream()
     .collect(Collectors.toMap(Map.Entry::getKey, e -> (String)e.getValue()));
