Here's a small project link(https://github.com/mebinjacob/mongo-scala-java-maven-poc) that I did using scala, java and mongo db.

Note in the pom.xml of the project one can specify the source folder of scala files it can be same as that of java or a different folder like src/main/scala. There is no mandate for scala classes to be on a separate src folders. I have tried both of them and both of them work great. The snippet of the pom that I am referring to is

    
    
        
            org.scala-tools
            maven-scala-plugin
            
                
                    
                        compile
                        testCompile
                    
                
            
            
                src/main/scala
                
                    -Xms64m
                    -Xmx1024m
