You can do the following (I tested it out and it works fine for me with Scala 2.9.1 and Java 1.6):

 final Option obj1 = Some.apply(null) // This will give you a None;
 System.out.println(obj1.getClass()); // will print "class scala.None$

 final Option obj2 = Some.apply("Something");
 System.out.println(obj2.getClass()); //will print "class scala.Some
