shorter version

You could also use a shortened version which requires less keyboard gymnastics. For example to open all .java files in a specific folider:
open `find /my/java/src/files -name *.java`
or to search the current folder:
open `find . -name *.java`

That doesn't work with certain characters

That only works with really simple filenames, and does not include spaces and other special characters. The original find command gracefully handles the special characters.
