Ok here's roughly how I setup my folder structure for a project (again, for
future reference, folder structure is not a design pattern). As noted in
other replies this isn't a standard, and lots of people will have other
opinions about the perfect layout. There are some rules you have to follow
(like actionscript packages have to be nested folders), but other than that
it's what works for your project. This is from the perspective of a Flex
project. Doing AIR projects there are other things to consider (database,
support files, etc).
project_root
bin-debug [1]
bin-release [2]
html-template [3]
src [4]
com
mydomain
Class1.as
Class2.as
...
ClassN.as
assets [5]
images
css
fonts
lib [6]
tests [7]
doc [8]
build.xml [9]
[1] compiler debug output from FlexBuilder goes here. FlexBuilder creates
this for you so not to worry.
[2] compiler release output from FlexBuilder goes here. FlexBuilder creates
this for you so not to worry.
[3] HTML template used for running in FlexBuilder and possibly your site.
FlexBuilder creates this for you so not to worry.
[4] action script and mxml go here. Typically you'll put your actionscript
in some package like com.mydomain
[5] assets folder holds my css, icons, and any fonts (if I have those)
[6] Any dependant SWCs I keep in lib. FlexBuilder usually adds this to my
project for me.
[7] All unit test code goes here (again following the package structure
layout).
[8] Any project documentation, or AS doc I put there (optional)
[9] My build file I use with Ant to build my project from the command line,
and automated builds.
