Get java.io.File on compile:class-directory

[Andrew D Bate]

Hello,

I am currently writing a custom task in which need an java.io.File object whose pathname is the directory reported by:

sbt show compile:class-directory

I have spent a couple of hours Googling to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.

SOLUTION: here is the relevant snippet for anyone else who is suffering:

(classDirectory in Compile) map { directory => 

      val outputDirectory: java.io.File = directory
