PROJECT MANAGEMENT QUESTIONS ARE OFF-TOPIC. Please ask these questions on ProjectManagement.SE - https://pm.stackexchange.com

Note that as of February 7th, 2011, the Project Management Stack Exchange Site, launched in Beta. Questions on StackOverflow with the project-management tag may get better results on that site.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to achieve specific goals, as defined in the Wikipedia Article on Project Management.

Projects are, in general, temporary. Projects generally have a project owner, project manager, and a team. The project manager of the team is not a functional manager or direct supervisor of the team, but is instead a person responsible for the project schedule and the overall success of the project.

Many times, projects involve members of different functional skills or disciplines who are brought together temporarily to meet a common goal. Once the project is complete, the team may disband.

How do you organize your development environment

I've got a folder with all my projects, in different languages. Then I've got the libraries that I might eventually use in my code (mostly jar files). I'm sure there is an accepted practice, right? What do the professionals do?
