I have a Traversable, and I want to make it into a Java Iterator. My problem is that I want everything to be lazily done. If I do .toIterator on the traversable, it eagerly produces the result, copies it into a List, and returns an iterator over the List.

I'm sure I'm missing something simple here...

Here is a small test case that shows what I mean:

class Test extends Traversable[String] {
      def foreach[U](f : (String) => U) {
         f("1")
         f("2")
         f("3")
         throw new RuntimeException("Not lazy!")
     }
}

val a = new Test
val iter = a.toIterator
