IDEs for Windows and Linux

[tech291083]

Hi,

I have the basic self taught understanding of the following language.

C
C++
Java
PHP
JavaScript

I generally compile my programs using a terminal on Linux and a web brower since I am not familiar with any IDEs/Development tools for the above languages. Can any one please let me know as which IDEs/Development tools are freely available that can simply be downloaded and used both on Windows and Linux based on your own experience and please tell me the ones that are not trial or time limited versions. Thanks a lot guys....

I just use GEdit and so far I have no complaints...Gerard

I separate of them by editing and compiling
edit like: vim,emacs,joe,...
compile: gcc,g++,...
but I seldom use IDE,except VC on windows xp,because of some work needed.

If I need interative debugging, I use NetBeans. But for some time now, I more and more enjoy it to use a simple text editor and a console window open. I don't know, somehow I have the feeling the IDE is slowing me down more than I gain productivity.

But nevertheless, NetBeans is a good one.

Thanks,

I have just opened this page for NetBeans download for Windows and it looks like that it has a package 250 mb which supports C/C++, Java, PHP almost all that I want. So please tell me whether I am choosing the right package or not for my Windows XP Home edition. Will it work on Windows XP Home edition? After downloading this 250 mb, do I need anything else to start coding and compiling or just this 250 mb bundle will do every thing? I am having a very slow net connection that is why I am taking your advice. I am assuming here that once this bundle of 250 mb is downloaded and install on my Windows XP home edition, I am just ready to write code and run programs in all the languages (C/C++, Java, PHP) without needing to download anything else likd Java JDK/SDK etc. Thanks and please guide/suggest me I am using it for the first time.

Regards,,
