Java Properties and lambda collect

Question

I have a method that convert Properties into hashmap in this way (i know it's wrong)

Map<String, String> mapProp = new HashMap<String, String>();
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(new FileInputStream( path ));     

prop.forEach( (key, value) -> {mapProp.put( (String)key, (String)value );} );

return mapProp;

My idea is that mapping in a way like this:

Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(new FileInputStream( path ));

Map<String, String> mapProp = prop.entrySet().stream().collect( /*I don't know*/ );

return mapProp;

How write a lambda expression for do that?

Thanks all in advance

Andrea.

Use Collectors.toMap

Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.load(new FileInputStream( path ));

Map<String, String> mapProp = prop.entrySet().stream().collect(
    Collectors.toMap(
        e -> (String) e.getKey(),
        e -> (String) e.getValue()
    ));
