How to Convert java.lang.Boolean to scala.Boolean?

Question

How can a java.lang.Boolean be converted to a scala.Boolean?

There is a similar question which is specific to Spring and Swagger. My question is more generic and applicable in any circumstances.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.

Use `Boolean.box` - As I always say, the [**Scaladoc**](https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Boolean$.html) is your friend. — Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez, Jan 24 '22 at 16:05
@LuisMiguelMejíaSuárez Thank you, but `box` is the wrong direction. That's for scala => java, I want java => scala — Ramón J Romero y Vigil, Jan 24 '22 at 16:13
God, I even looked for it before commenting and still I wrote it wrong... I am a failure. Anyways, should we close this? Or should I add it as an answer? I think this falls close to a typo but not sure what other folks think. — Luis Miguel Mejía Suárez, Jan 24 '22 at 16:29

The Boolean.unbox method will convert to scala Boolean.

You can also just type-ascribe: `(new java.lang.Boolean(false)): scala.Boolean` compiles – Seth Tisue Jan 24 '22 at 19:28
