Java 8 Streams API: Immutable List Collector

Instead of first collecting a stream into a list and then making it unmodifiable, as shown below:

mutableList = list.stream()
                  // perform some stream operations...
                  .filter(myFilterPredicate)
                  .map(myMapperFunction)
                  // collect into a list
                  .collect(toList());

// now make the list unmodifiable
return Collections.unmodifiableList(list);

you can using collectingAndThen as follows:

return list.stream()
           // perform some stream operations...
           .filter(myFilterPredicate)
           .map(myMapperFunction)
           // collect into an unmodifiable list
           .collect(collectingAndThen(toList(), Collections::unmodifiableList));
