How can I pass a Scala object reference around in Java?

I want to return from a Java method a reference to a Scala object. How can I do that?

My Scala objects are like this:

trait Environment 

object LocalEnvironment extends Environment {...}
object ServerEnvironment extends Environment {...}

... and I want my Java method to be like this:

Environment getEnvironment() { return LocalEnvironment; }  // DOES NOT COMPILE

Is there a way to do this?
