perhaps. this is neither the time nor the place for that discussion.

however, in answer to the actual discussion in this thread,
netbeans (not javabeans) is a nice pseudo open-source
IDE (no charge, and it's open source to the extent that the
Sun Public Licence is open source, which is to say sort of
but not really).

see http://www.netbeans.org/ for a copy, but be sure that your
development system has enough RAM -- and you'll want to
watch the netbeans users list for performance tips, as there
are a lot of tweaks to the default memory management parameters
that are worth making.

it happens to have a C++ module which can be downloaded
and added; i've played with it a bit. only downside is that the
runtime and debugger aren't really integrated; i find myself
editing C++, saving it, and going to a shell window to run
the makefile, which isn't nearly as slick as when i do java
development in the IDE.
