Well-known projects with about 1 million lines of code?
I realize this question is very specific to my situation and seems unlikely to benefit the community, but some might be interested to know if we got good answers.
Does anyone know of any projects that have around 1 million lines of code?
I am putting something together for management and I want to compare our software, which is about a million lines of code, and several others.
I know that the use of lines of code is very controversial for many purposes, such as measuring performance; however, what I want to do is use this statistic as a small part of a larger demo on the ongoing maintenance of our product.
There are some examples on Wikipedia ( Source Lines of Code - Wikipedia ) but they are too large.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank!

Just an idea. How about checking http://www.ohloh.net/
You will most likely find projects like this that use their API.

I really don't understand what you are looking for? Just some project names that contain about 1 million lines of code?
I'm not interested in such a metric ... The number of lines of code is really subjective, IMHO. It depends on how the developers write their code, how the formatting is handled ... For example, wrapping a string with character 80 will create more LoCs than the wrapper in column 150. Also, comments (or license information at the beginning of each file) can really increase the amount of LoC!
For your information, Sonar can help you with your task (it uses the JavaNCSS tool to measure this information). In the online demo you can see this information for some open source projects (just hover over the "treemap"), but in here you will only have projects with ~ 100K LoC.
