Accessing scala.None from Java

Question

How can you access scala.None from Java?

The last line causes the compiler to die with \"type scala.None does not take parameters\".

imp         


        

Answer 1

Using Scala version 2.11.4 the only thing that worked out in my case, was

Option maybeAmount = (amount != MISSING_STOCKAMOUNT) 
? Some.apply(amount+"") : Option.apply(null); // can you feel the pain??

Update: a day later...

Option.apply(null);

without the type parameter does work too, as it should. For some reason I couldn't get Intellij to compile the code on my first attempt. I had to pass the secondary type parameter. Now it compiles, just don't ask
