For server based stuff, I usually put each project in a dir /servers with each subir having a copy of Tomcat. I'm a bit lazy here, I could play with config files and have one instance of Tomcat, but I also like separating things very well. Note that if you are doing Java based server dev, Intellij or Eclipse can point to a single Tomcat instance and deploy in local project space ala WAR explosions :)
For non-server stuff I have a /projects folder where I put each project( read client ) work. SDKs like Flex and such I usually stick in a subdir of /Library, kind of what Apple does. eg, /Library/Flex/SDK/4.1.0 I also make use of macports for managing/installing tools when I can. HomeBrew or Fink are alternatives to this, but again, I'm lazy and rather stick to what I know and get work done :) Its rather nostalgically cool to watch say Perl being compiled from source on your MBP. While we are at it, I have to mention SuperDuper. Great tool for complete bootable backups. and hey, welcome to Mac! Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?
