sbt include custom directory in package

I am a novice to sbt and I would like to include a custom folder into final package. Based on some good reads, I understand sbt follows a specific folder structure and doesn't include custom folders unless specified in build file.

Following is the project folder structure and would like to include bin and subsequent files into the end package, but this doesn't seem to work for me. Any inputs appreciated

LICENSE  README.MD  app/  build.sbt  conf/  lib/  project/  public/  bin/

Section i tried in the sbt build file

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtNativePackager.Universal
mappings in Universal += {
 file("bin") -> "bin"
}

The MappingsHelper object is exactly what you need. Basically it's a better API for SBTs PathFinder.

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtNativePackager.autoImport.NativePackagerHelper._

// without top level dir
mappings in Universal ++= contentOf(baseDirectory.value / "bin")

// with top level dir
mappings in Universal ++= directory(baseDirectory.value / "bin")

Update Since sbt 1.2.x these helpers are in the sbt Io package and available without sbt native packager as well.

Cheers, Muki

This worked for me :-) Reference: How to add custom directory to Scala SBT project?

mappings in Universal ++= (baseDirectory.value / "bin" * "*" get) map(x => x -> ("bin/" + x.getName))
