Hello, I've got a sealed class like below and I'm struggling to use the Empty state in Java. Any advice? Calling State state = State.Empty; gives "expression expected". Am I missing something obvious?

sealed class State() {
    object Empty : State()

    ...
}

Objects are syntax sugar for the singleton pattern, in Java I believe you need to call the static getINSTANCE() method

Thank you! .INSTANCE() was what I was looking for
