classOf T instead of T$ for Java library that does reflection

I'm using Scala with a Java library that expects to be passed a class with a public static void main(java.lang.String[]) so it can run call it via reflection for integration tests.

object RestServer {
    def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { /* run the server */ }
}

Due to the behavior described in this answer to another question, this gets compiled to two classes.

public final class com.example.RestServer$ {
  public static final com.optum.cql.rest.RestServer$ MODULE$;
  public static {};
  public void main(java.lang.String[]);
}

and

public final class com.example.RestServer {
  public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}

When I pass the class to the library

@IntegrationTest(main = classOf[RestServer.type])
class MyTests extends RapidoidIntegrationTest { }

I'm actually passing the object singleton instance (RestServer$), not the RestServer class that has the static void main() method.

This wouldn't be a problem, except the library verifies that the method it is calling is both public and static before calling it?

How can I get the RestServer class instead?
