Java static init block and init block in Scala ?

[Francois]

Hello scalazzi,

I'm wondering if Scala support the Java static init and init blocks, like:

public class Foo {
  static {
    //some code executed when the class is loaded
  }

  {
     //some code executed before constructor, but after super constructor
  }

  //constructors, etc

}


Thanks,

The body of an object declared at global scope has (at least roughly)
the same semantics as as a Java static initializer block.

Put it in the companion object:

object Foo {

  //init here

}

Although not quite. Whether or not this matters for you depends on what you're doing. See this thread for further discussion:
