ModelConverter classes should expose Java collections objects rather than scala

[rage-shadowman]

ModelConverter classes all expect and return scala immutable collections objects. This makes it very difficult to work with them in Java. If they would expose Java collections objects, it would be much easier.

Methods: ignoredClasses, ignoredPackages, typeMap, skippedClasses

In the meantime how can I redefine i.e. ignoredPackages using only Java or Groovy? I 've found no way to populate a scala.collection.immutable.Set<String> from those languages.

UPDATE: the following hack works

...
        @Override
        public Set<String> ignoredPackages() {
            scala.collection.mutable.LinkedHashSet set = new scala.collection.mutable.LinkedHashSet()
            def pkgs = [
                'java.lang',
                'groovy.lang',
                'java.util'
            ] as LinkedHashSet
            pkgs << delegateConverter.ignoredPackages()
            pkgs.each {set.add (it)}
            set.toSet()
        }
...

There is a hideous set of tools in the scala.collection.JavaConverters class. They can be used, but they are a major PITA to work with. If you look on stackoverflow, there are a lot of examples of how to turn java collection classes into scala equivalents. The scala.collection.JavaConversions class is much nicer to work with but unfortunately it only generates mutable objects.

Here is an example for java.util.Set to scala.collection.immutable.Set that isn't too much of a PITA:

java.util.Set<String> javaUtilOverrides = new HashSet<String>(
    Arrays.asList( new String[] {
      "java.lang",
      "groovy.lang",
      "java.util"
   } ) );
scala.collection.immutable.Set<String> scalaIgnoredPackageOverrides = JavaConverters
    .asScalaSetConverter( javaUtilOverrides )
    .asScala()
    .toSet();

Cool. Many thanks!
