Fixing error: edu.stanford.nlp.ling.CoreLabel cannot be cast to scala.runtime.Nothing$

In Scala, you can get an error like this:

edu.stanford.nlp.ling.CoreLabel cannot be cast to scala.runtime.Nothing$

E.g.:

val types =
  results.map(
    (res) => {
      res.map(
        (label) => label.asInstanceOf[CoreLabel].category()
      )
    }
  )

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: edu.stanford.nlp.ling.CoreLabel cannot be cast to scala.runtime.Nothing$

I found that this was fixable by converting the list to an array first:

val types =
  results.map(
    (res) => {
      res.toArray().map(
        (label) => label.asInstanceOf[CoreLabel].category()
      )
    }
  )
