Hi,

I am a beginner in ROS. I am trying to control Baxter Robot using ROS in C++ language. I am following the ROS and Baxter Tutorials to learn it. Till now, I am using gedit editor for code writing. Gedit it irritating in the sense, that I need to switch to terminal for compiling using Catkin_Make and switch back to Gedit incase of any error. Apart from that auto-suggestion and debugging are two big challenges, which are not available in Gedit v3.

I am looking for an IED, which has at least following support-

Suitable for ROS + Baxter C++ code development
Auto suggestion while writing the code (like Netbeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio etc.)
Compile and Run Project (So that, there is no need to run Catkin_Make from terminal)
Line by line debugging support (Functionality to insert breakpoint)
Go to definition/Find all references (to see the definitions, header files etc)

Please note that I am using ROS Indigo in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 Bit OS.

Thank you very much for providing the reference of IDE page. Well, I prefer IDE for fast and easy code development. What do you suggest to use? IDE or Gedit?

My personal preference is a combination of the Terminator Ubuntu app for compiling and launching ROS nodes, and Github's Atom IDE for writing code.

@Zero: You need to download deb installer file for Ubuntu OS.
