I've had that problem, here's what I do:

:arge

will do the same as :e, but also add it to the arglist. You can prefix with a number to insert it at a particular position, especially :0arge and :99arge for first and last respectively. It only adds one at a time; several can be added with :arga (including recursive wildcards such as /*.java)

:argd %

will delete the current file (which % expands to) from the arglist.

BTW: I dislike pressing : and <CR> so instead of :n, my .vimrc has:

:map <C-n> <Esc>:n<CR> " next file, with control-n :map <C-p> <Esc>:N<CR> " prev file, with control-p



The recursive wildcard didn't come out right. It should be:

    **/*.java
And the mapping is:

    :map <C-n> <Esc>:n<CR>    " next file, with control-n
    :map <C-p> <Esc>:N<CR>    " prev file, with control-p
