Java 8 collector for Guava immutable collections?

Update: I found an implementation that seems to cover all Guava collections at https://github.com/yanaga/guava-stream and attempted to improve upon it in my own library at https://bitbucket.org/cowwoc/guava-jdk8/

I'm leaving the previous answer below, for historical reasons.


Holy #@!( I got it!

This implementation works for any Multimap (mutable or immutable) whereas shmosel's solution focuses on immutable implementations. That said, the latter might be more efficient for the immutable case (I don't use a builder).

Since version 21, you can

.collect(ImmutableSet.toImmutableSet())
.collect(ImmutableMap.toImmutableMap())
.collect(Maps.toImmutableEnumMap())
.collect(Sets.toImmutableEnumSet())
.collect(Tables.toTable())
.collect(ImmutableList.toImmutableList())
