When working within a maven project you cannot right-click and select new 'scala package'. You can select a new 'java package' that puts the new package into the src/main/java directory. There should be similar behavior for scala packages that put the new package in the src/main/scala package If you are in a scala project, the new 'java package' works since the destination directory of the command is the same as a java project - src.
