For C/C++ and Java I recommend Eclipse. It's written in Java and runs in virtually any OS which supports Java.
 
I would recommend DevC++ for its ease of use but if you are going to do serious programming , get visual C++ from microsoft
 
I like CodeBlocks: http://codeblocks.org

The software is in active development and has a forum where you can get help: http://forums.codeblocks.org

Various users occasionally provide all-in-one snapshots that are easy to install and much more advanced than the last official release (which is over a year old). Here is a recent one for Windows: http://www.esnips.com/web/wxLearner-C++

The forum also has nightly builds for those who like to stay on the bleeding edge of development.
