scala method named 'type'

Question

In scala environment, I use java class containing method type() which seems to cause troubles as type is a scala keyword.

I need to call the real type method (defined in java class), not the scala one.

val c = new JavaClass(...)
val s = new ScalaClass(c.type(), c.name())
// identifier expected but 'type' found.

Can I somehow call the type method defined in java class?

Note: I can't rewrite the java class since it's a provided library without edit permission.

Answer 1

you can call the java method by surrounding it with backtics

c.`type`()
