Well, you already eliminated emacs, so I guess that leaves vi. :-)

Seriously, I would suggest eclipse. eclipse.org

It's VERY good for java and there are plugins that enable decent C++ support.

Enjoy!

My preferences are vi, eclipse, netbeans. If you try vi, you will definitely want to try a tutorial. I teach this to students grade 9 and up and once they've learned it they are fine, but if just plunked down in front of it they would hate it.

did that, and it didnt show up in the "start" menu, couldnt figure out how to put it in the start menu, and i couldnt find it anywhere on my comp. i've since reinstalled kubuntu to the latest version and am having repository problems, but i think i'll try to fix this one myself


also, im not doing huge major programs at the moment. my class hasnt gotten to classes yet, we just did methods, so a light developer like jGrasp and kDevelop was nice (still havent figured out how to compile a program in it, i've been saving and compiling from the konsole so far, is that what it is meant to do?).

did you edit your sources.list to include some of the major repositories?

also, forget finding it in the menu, just go to "Run Application" and type kdevelop. The setup menu will come up, and from there it will show you what else you need to install to get 'er done!

I am going to be so nice as to provide a tutorial. I am using the latest ubutnu, although i do have KDE installed, I am more comfortable with Gnome.


Step 1)Check/Edit sources.list
--------------------------------

in terminal (feel free to replace gedit with your fav text editor):
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
password:

make sure you have all the repositories as listed on www.ubuntuguide.org

save your new sources.list

in terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

-----------------------------

Step 2) Install kdevelop
-----------------------------
Code:
sudo apt-get install kdevelop

-----------------------------

Step 3) Run KDE
-----------------------------
-go to "Run Application" and type "kdevelop"
-a kdevelop setup menu will come up, keep clicking next until you get to step "4 of 9" there you will see a list of utilities that you have and don't have. It should say that you already have most of them installed, howevever, if some are lacking, try to go back online and find/install them. Though not all are crucial, you will never know what you need in teh future.


enjoy!

tlo,
Since you like jGrasp, why don't you use it on Linux? jGrasp is written in Java so should run just fine on Linux after you install the JDK/JRE.

Use vim.... vim is the best thing since sliced bread once you read the tutorial.

Otherwise eclipse as someone already said.

Netbeans.... urgh... is... netbeans...

HELL NO! Vim is so much better than Emacs! If you know what you are doing you can develop short scripts so much faster with vim than with any other editor! The hundreds of shortcuts are so very useful! Emacs... bah... indeed...
