comparing Scala lists with Java lists

Question

How can I compare a Scala list with a Java list? ``` scala> List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) res0: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) scala> java.util.Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) res1: java.util.List[Int] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] scala> res0 == res1 res2: Boolean = false ``` Is there some static helper method for comparison that accepts both Scala lists and Java lists? Or is there a kind of "lazy wrapper" over both sorts of lists which I can then directly compare via `==`?

Accepted Answer

... or use `sameElements`.

```
scala> import collection.JavaConversions._
import collection.JavaConversions._

scala> res0.sameElements(res1)            
res3: Boolean = true
```
