Those aren't the same contents in those different URL's. The files
have the same name, but they also have different checksums and are for
different architecture. That *can* be confusing!

Depends on the compiler. The basic C/C++ compiler is gcc, the basic
one for systems that Red Hat has been using for years and which is
unchanged for Scientific Linux. The Java compiler depends on what you
install. OpenJDK i sbuilt in, as is an old gcc based tool called
"gcj".

IDE, well, it depends on how you define them. "eclipse" is available
from the third party EPEL repository. Others, depends on what you like
and can find in the developer world!
