Dropbox API DbxAuthFinish class

I was trying to experiment with the Dropbox API tutorial, and the following lines of code don't make sense to me:

    // This will fail if the user enters an invalid authorization code.
    DbxAuthFinish authFinish = webAuth.finish(code);
    String accessToken = authFinish.accessToken;

    DbxClient client = new DbxClient(config, accessToken);

I don't understand the first line, a new object named authFinish of type DbxAuthFinish is being declared and then accessToken is set equal to authFinish.accessToken.

If my understanding of the code is correct why isn't the new keyword required?

Link to the tutorial.

The webAuth.finish method returns an already initialized DbxAuthFinish instance, so you don't have to include new in your code. If you look at the source code for the Dropbox Core Java SDK, you'll see that the finish method in DbxWebAuth itself concludes with:

return new DbxAuthFinish(finish.accessToken, finish.userId, givenUrlState);

Your code then goes on to pull the access token from the DbxAuthFinish and use it to initialize a DbxClient.
