Converting a Java Collection to a Scala Collection?

Question

I have a Java class implementing: Iterable< Element>, Collection< Element>, List< Element>

How do I turn it into a Scala Iterator or List or any other Scala collection, so I can do something like map or el(2)?

Use JavaConverters:

import scala.collection.JavaConverters._

val yourJavaList = // ...
val scalaList = yourJavaList.asScala
