Long story short I have some complex networking software to create (has to run under an environment.... currently the lab it will be tested in is Ubuntu/XP but I figured I should probably use Ubuntu a bit more (and set up a VirtualBox Ubunutu host)

Now... I am to create my software in C and Java, and I'm after a decent IDE to do it within, similar to Visual Studio would be nice as I will be needing to step into my code for debugging packets etc

I have tried Eclipse and really didn't get on with it. Are there any decent IDEs that are available to use? I am installing NetBeans so will see how it goes but open to suggestions for others

I would have suggested Eclipse, I personally hate Netbeans...

How big is the project? Does it really need to have an IDE? Or could you make good use of a good text editor and gcc/java tools?

I must admit I've moved away from the IDE in the last year or so because the projects I've worked on just aren't particularly big, perhaps only around 10 class files...

If it's appropriate I would look at understanding how to customise gvim to give you tab completion, syntax highlighting (though I think you get that by default), automatic indentation, etc...It's possible, though perhaps not easy...

Not huge, the main part is a server side implementation of a game

The main reason I wanted the IDE is for debugging the networking aspect of it as I want to examine the packets, and be able to change code while running (to test incorrect packet orders etc as I will be using UDP)

I like Anjuta, but then I was only using it for learning some C++, and the ability to have the terminal integrated was a neat feature as I could compile and run code without having to leave the IDE.

I haven't used it myself, but I think Sun Studio would do what you want.

I hated Eclipse when I first used it. I couldn't get my head around it.

But after having used Adobe DreamWeaver for a while, I found Eclipse a much better product. If you stick with it, it can be a very good environment, but it is very different to VisualStudio, for example.
