I love Guava, and I'll continue to use Guava a lot. But, where it makes sense, I try to use the "new stuff" in Java 8 instead.
"Problem"
Lets say I want to join url attributes in a String. In Guava I would do it like this:
Map attributes = new HashMap<>();
attributes.put("a", "1");
attributes.put("b", "2");
attributes.put("c", "3");
// Guava way
String result = Joiner.on("&").withKeyValueSeparator("=").join(attributes);
Where the result is a=1&b=2&c=3.
Question
What is the most elegant way to do this in Java 8 (without any 3rd party libraries)?

You can grab the stream of the map's entry set, then map each entry to the string representation you want, joining them in a single string using Collectors.joining(CharSequence delimiter).
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.joining;
String s = attributes.entrySet()
.stream()
.map(e -> e.getKey()+"="+e.getValue())
.collect(joining("&"));
But since the entry's toString() already output its content in the format key=value, you can call its toString method directly:
String s = attributes.entrySet()
.stream()
.map(Object::toString)
.collect(joining("&"));
