Text Editors on Ubuntu Software Center

Question

Please suggest a text editor for writing my java programs. It should be similar to Notepad++. Should have: syntax highlighting, tabs, be colorful, and other advanced features leading to ease in writing programs. Also, it should be in Ubuntu Software Center as I am not able to download text editors from chrome. I downloaded SciTE Text Editor but it is not that colorful as N++. Looking for something better.

Thank you.

@KunalSangwan Tried gedit but it's not that great. I just tried eclipse and sublime text and like them better. Thanks for the answer — Sam, Dec 23 '13 at 05:11

It's a good one but resembles Sublime Text for the most part. Thanks for the suggestion. – Sam Dec 23 '13 at 05:08

if you can't find anything else then install notepad++(the windiows edition) in wine works perfectly well – Meow Dec 23 '13 at 05:51
