Hello all. I recently started using Ubuntu a few months ago and was wondering what IDE I should install for C++ development. Also, if it has support for Java, that would be great as well.
P.S. I use Visual Studio when I am in Windows.

Doesn't Ubuntu already have gedit?

I don't think Ubuntu includes Netbeans in its software center, but I rather liked the IDE while I still used it. It will also run on your Windoze box. ;)
You can download it from here:
http://netbeans.org/downloads/index.html
EDIT @georgep:
gedit is more like Notepad with pretty text and optional syntax highlighting than Visual Studio.

@georgep - I was thinking of using gvim :P

@albatross: Are you sure that you don't need an extra compiler for NetBeans if you want to compile C++?

I used to love gnu emacs when I was working on Linux. There were a color version as well so you could add color coding.

I use Eclipse, if you like gvim there is also eclim, which let's you integrate gvim into eclipse.

@FlashDrive:
As long as the OP already has a compiler installed (which isn't that hard to get done with the software center), then not at all!

Code::blocks is a very good solution as it also works on Windows so you can use the really same project files on each platform.

@Jessy V: As long as you use cross platform code
