Scala (package) object is decompiled as java - a static initializer containing "new ();" - what is it?

Question

I have the following scala code

package x.y

package object config {

  type SomeType = AnotherType[YetAnotherOne]
}

The following describes what JDGUI does in Java

package x.y.config;

import scala.reflect.ScalaSignature;

@ScalaSignature(bytes="\006\001...")
public final class package {}

A...

package x.y.config;

public final class package$
{
  public static final  MODULE$;

  static
  {
    new ();
  }

  private package$()
  {
    MODULE$ = this;
  }
}

I have no problem with the disappearance of the definition type(I expect the rope to handle this)

I want to know what it is:

static
{
  new ();
}

MODULE $ is explained here .

The thing is, when I cut and paste Java code into my IDE, it does not compile. And not typed public static final MODULE$;, nor new ();.

Is this just some kind of miscompilation decompilation? Did I miss something?

What's going on here?

Edit:

upon request:

javap -c -l -private package\$.class
Compiled from "package.scala"
public final class x.y.config.package$ {
  public static final x.y.config.package$ MODULE$;

  public static {};
    Code:
       0: new           #2                  // class x/y/config/package$
       3: invokespecial #12                 // Method "<init>":()V
       6: return

  private x.y.config.package$();
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: invokespecial #13                 // Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
       4: aload_0

@acartapanis,

package org.cakesolutions.scala.basic;

public final class EmptyObject$
{
    public static final EmptyObject$ MODULE$;

    static {
        new EmptyObject$();
    }

    private EmptyObject$() {
        MODULE$ = this;
    }
}
