Java has long way to catch up with C++
in my opinion.
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.
