How to compile scala sources via maven integration in intellij idea?

Question

I am learning circumflex orm and using maven with idea for the first time. I expected that my sources in src will compile to build directory. But it doesn't happen. And if I specify sourceDirectory and outputDirectory like ${basedir}/src or ${project.basedir}/build I get intellij idea's inspections that such folders doesn't exist (sic!)

What should I do to compile my sources?

Answer 1

The Maven convention is that the compiled classes are put into target/classes. Unless you have a very good reason to do it differently, it is better (and much less painful) to stick to the convention.

Answer 2

<build>
    <sourceDirectory>src/main/scala</sourceDirectory>

        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.scala-tools</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-scala-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.4</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>compile</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <configuration>
                    <mainClass>greet.Main</mainClass>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
</build>
