If you use the sbt build tool, which is by far the most popular in the Scala world, you have to use Maven-style directory layout which is the originator of the horror you refer to (see http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Directories.html http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Getting-Started/Direct...). Most Scala projects don't bother with the com/foo/mystuff directory structure part, retaining just the mystuff directory, which is a small saving. It's an annoying vestige, but I typically don't navigate the directory structure to find files anyway. Instead I use projectile in Emacs. I'm sure other editors have similar systems.
