I need a solid C++ IDE

[Damascushead]

I need a solid IDE for doing some C++ work in. I know that I can write and compile from the command prompt but I am going to be working with a lot of classes and don't want to fool with a basic editor. According to my reading it seems that Eclipse is the most popular, however I have my concerns seeing as how it is really intended for Java and simply accomodated for C++.

I haven't done any C++ in a while and the last time I did it was on the Microsoft IDE which sucks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and Peace!

i use bluefish, you can download it from ubuntu software center.

Thank you for the suggestion. I think I will try this one out.

Netbeans, Code::Blocks, CodeLite.

These are just a few.

Some of the professional I work with strongly prefer Eclipse CDT for C++. Others I have talked to think Code::Blocks is satisfactory. Qt Creator is also really slick and fully functional. All of these are avilable in Ubuntu archives.

There's definitely plenty out there, I never could get Eclipse to work properly, but I really recommend what others have mentioned: Code::Blocks. It's really rock solid, and if you're familiar with Visual C++, the UI is pretty similar.

Netbeans' C++ support is pretty good as well; you'll just have to try them all out. Because both Eclipse and Netbeans were originally written for Java, mind you, is not a reason to assume they're worse for C++... they are general IDEs and particular language support can be just as good as that for Java.

For c++ codeblocks is real good.check it in ubuntu software center.

Yeah, I use Code Blocks too. I think it is very similar to the visual c++ series and there is a bunch plugins to use. However, one of the defect part is function list feature, I don't see it is always work when I type

function_name (

And it will sometimes crash when I drag the text...

I would suggest using the cvim.vim plugin. It has a lot of juicy hotkeys.
