In Scala, if you need to deal with classes, there is probably a different way to approach the problem.

So I'm not claiming to resolve the title of the question, but the specific need that you post. To check if a specific object is of a specific type, the typical approach in Scala is the use of pattern matching. Unless I'm missing something, this should work

def checkType(obj: Any) = obj match {
  case y: Int => "get int"
  case _ => "Other"
}
