When would you put a semicolon after a method closing brace?

I've been programming in Java for a while, and I've just come across this syntax for the first time:

public Object getSomething(){return something;}; 

What's interesting me is the final semicolon. It doesn't seem to be causing a compiler error, and as far as I know isn't generating runtime errors, so it seems to be valid syntax. When would I use this syntax? Or is it just something that is allowed but generally not used?
