This is actually a guest post - Marc Chanliau from the Oracle Web Service Manager product team sent me a quick email with instructions that he wrote up for installing JDeveloper on a macintosh - and I thought it would make a good blog post that might help people on OTN as well.
So here we go with Marc's instructions for:
Installing JDeveloper 11gR1 on Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)
- Download jdevstudio11110install.jar from OTN (11.1.1.0.2).
1. Make Java 6 the default JVM on your Mac
- Run Java Preferences (in /Applications/Utilities/Java)
- Move the Java SE 6 (64 Bit) to the top of the Java application versions
list
2. In order for the installer to see JKD 1.6 on your Mac, you need to create
a sym link for classes.jar:
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
sudo mkdir jre
cd jre
sudo mkdir lib
cd lib
sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/classes/classes.jar rt.jar
3. Run the JDev installer by clicking on the jdevstudio11110install.jar you
downloaded -- this should automatically start the JAR Launcher and unpack
libraries.
If you keep all recommended install default values, JDev and ADF are installed
at:
/users/yourusername/oracle/middleware/jdeveloper
WebLogic Server gets installed at:
/users/yourusername/oracle/middleware/wlserver_10.3
4. To start JDev, you can create an alias in your .profile file as follows:
alias startjdev="/users/yourusername/oracle/middleware/jdeveloper/jdev/bin/jdev"

Hussein,
Seems like you can get an Oracle to work on Mac OSX see:

And remember that JDeveloper can also work with non-Oracle databases if you need to...

Shrinivas,
You'll need to install WebLogic 10.3 on your Solaris machine
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
and then follow the deployment instructions from the Fusion Developer Guide.
(or from this blog entry:

Shay,
the install worked - thanks.
I don't see any .profile files for aliases? There's nothing in my user directory?
I am new to the Mac Environment, and other Mac java tips are apreciated.
Where do you typlically set the classpath?
