Converting a Java enumeration to a Scala Map

Question

Is there a way to take a java based API that loops over property names and someone add the key/value pairs to a Scala Map[String, Object] ?

Enumeration properties = something.getPropertyNames();
while (properties.hasMoreElements())
{
    String propName = (String) srcProperties.nextElement();
    Object v = something.getValue(propName);
}

I think you are confusing a Java Enumeration with the Properties object it was obtained from. Like in Enumeration propertyNames = props.getPropertyNames()

We cannot create a map from the resulting Enumeration, because it's only a sequence of Strings, but we can obtain a Map[String,String] from the original Properties object.

 import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
 val propertyMap = props.asScala  // mutable map
 // or
 val propertyMap = props.asScala.toMap  // immutable map
