What is the development environment to set up when learning Objective-C under Ubuntu

I am a Java developer, I am going to start to learn objective C from scrach.

I would like to ask here, if my work station is a Ubuntu 10.04 machine, what is the development env开发者_C百科ironment I have to set up for objective c programming?

For example, what is the IDE to use, what other things need to set up?

You need a Mac with Xcode installed. Check here:

Edit:

If you only need Objective-c, a text editor and a gcc compiler is enough:

http://gcc.gnu.org/

When you write that you want to learn Objective-C, most people automatically think "Oh, you want to start developing applications for MacOSX or iOS" as that is the main (an probably only) platform Objective-c is in heavy use today. So:

1. If you want to write GUI applications for MacOSX or iOS, there are tons of questions on SO of which 99% come to the conclusion that you need a Mac for that

2. If you just want to program in Objective-c for the console, or target other GUI frameworks, then just take an editor of your choice and compile the code with gcc (as @Jacky Boy suggested)

There used to be an eclipse plugin called objectiveclipse but it seems that they have shut down the project.
