Does anyone happen to know if there is anything out there like hideshow.el
but that works properly with java when one uses an aligned parenthesis
coding style?

e.g. a style like

for (whatever)
{
  some code;
  more code;
}

(Actually, I seem to recall older versions of hideshow working, so perhaps
I'll try to get one of these working if I can't find anything else).

What happens if you do M-x hs-hide-block RET or whatever it is that
you need to do?

Hiding blocks works fine.  I think showing blocks generally works fine as
well.  The main problem is with toggling blocks; if I try to toggle a
hidden block, it ends up hiding the entire class (even though I've set it
up so that a "hide all" only hides the methods in the class).

Hmmm... maybe if I got used to hiding and showing with the keyboard only it
wouldn't be such a problem.  I'll have to find something nicer to bind the
hide/show functions to though; C-c @ C-h is pretty unwieldy.

There is a fairly basic feature called set-selective-display which is
bound to `C-x $'.  Let me quote from the manual:

   "To hide lines, type `C-x $' (`set-selective-display') with a
   numeric argument N.  Then lines with at least N columns of
   indentation disappear from the screen.  The only indication of
   their presence is that three dots (`...') appear at the end of each
   visible line that is followed by one or more hidden ones."

It's simple, but it might work surprisingly well.

Looks useful, but for java I really want the hideshow
functionality. (e.g. I want to be able to hide all methods except for the
ones I'm working on).

Have you looked at the ECB (Emacs Code Browser)?  It can be configured
similarly to what you describe, and it has other neat features as
well.

See http://ecb.sourceforge.net

Nope, haven't seen it before.  Looks worth checking out; thanks for the
heads-up.
