Eclipse

http://www.eclipse.org

• Use either Sun Java (Debian package: sun-java6-jre) or OpenJDK (Debian package: openjdk-6-jre). GNU Java (GCJ) may be too slow. If you experience problems with Sun Java, it may be IPv6 - to resolve it, add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true in the end of eclipse.ini
• It is recommended to use the latest version from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse CDT - a distribution for C/C++ development
