Question: I am Computer Science student and working on a project in java through netbeans 7.0.1 to be submitted in college, Today my faculty asked me how much your project is completed and i confidently replied that, Yes sir approx 50% completed already, he said how many lines u code, and i just go "Ummmm don't know exactly Sir", he replied, "Are you actually working or just buying it from somewhere!", my mind go blank!!! :D  

I googled for this and found a [WordCount](http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/1531/wordcount) Plugin for netbeans, but it does not working in NetBeans 7, or may be i do't know how exactly it works..

Any substitute for this WordCount available for NetBeans 7.x?

Or any other way, except manual counting of line in whole application?

Answer: 
It's not part of Netbeans, but I use [CLOC](http://cloc.sourceforge.net/) for this and find it does a nice job - identifies different languages well, reports on how many lines are comments, how many are code and so on.
Since a 'nix-based answer has been given, in Windows you could accomplish something similar with Powershell:

```
get-content *.java | measure-object -line

```
