Need script or Program to count lines of source code

Question

Hello, I need a script or a program that can count how many lines are there in a directory contains source code as well as other directories(contain code as well), there are .java files in these directories, the script or program should count number of lines with/without comments(starts with // or surrounded by /**/)
Thanks a lot!!!

I wrote a quick python program to count the lines in a file, you could just adapt it to your needs, or use the second program I have in this post that condenses all the .java files in a directory into a single text file, which you can then use a line-count on (useful if you need to print it as well - I wrote it for my IB dossier java project), if you'd like a proper script for your needs, otherwise check the other suggestions.
Run it by copying the code into a text file and saying it as script.py (change script to whatever you want) and running it with python /path/to/script.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
home=os.path.expanduser("~")
endPath=raw_input("Path to file relative to your home directory (include file name and extension): ")
count=0
ff=open(os.path.join(home, endPath))
for x in ff:
count+=1
values={'name': os.path.join(home,endPath), 'count' : count}
print "The file %(name)s contains %(count)s lines." % values

import os
home=os.path.expanduser("~")
endPath=raw_input("Path relative to your home directory to the project folder: ")
extension=raw_input("Extension of files you want to condense: ")
outPath=raw_input("Path to output file relative to home directory: ")
outFile=raw_input("Output file name (including extension): ")
ff=open(os.path.join(home+outPath,outFile), "wt")
for root, dirs, files in os.walk(os.path.join(home,endPath), "true", "none", "true"):
for infile in [f for f in files if f.endswith(extension)]:
fh=open(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(root,infile)))
for line in fh:
ff.write(line,)
fh.close()
ff.close()
