I can't give you a full solution right now, but there is a setting called resourceDirectories to which you could add the res folder.

[EDIT] For me it didn't work also if the resource was in the standard resource folder. Please try it that way:

Main.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("icon.png")

[EDIT2] This is the full build script (build.scala) which works if your resource is in src/main/java:

import sbt._
import Keys._

object TestBuild extends Build {

  lazy val buildSettings = Seq(
    organization := "com.test",
    version := "1.0-SNAPSHOT",
    scalaVersion := "2.9.1"
  )

  lazy val test  = Project(
    id = "test",
    base = file("test"),
    settings = Defaults.defaultSettings ++ Seq(resourceDirectory in Compile <<= javaSource in Compile)
  )
}
