The editor included in Visual Studio .NET has those features, but the whole .NET development environment might be a little overkill. And somewhat pricey. You could check out NetBeans - a Java IDE. I've heard it contains a very good code editor.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter

hehe.. a slight overkill! NetBeans, is it free? I've tried Emacs (should be the bast according to hard core coders) but it could collapse/expand paragraphs..

Netbeans will fold Java code (yes it's free, http://www.netbeans.org )
There is a folding mode for Emacs (folding.el), but it relies on you adding comment lines for the beginning and end of each fold.

As Emacs was already mentioned, I would suggest ViM (www.vim.org), but be warned, the learning curve is fairly steep! Ah, but the rewards ... martin
