That's error prone in light of file and directory names with spaces and line breaks (not too common, I know).  In this case

find src -name \*.java -exec wc -l {} +

is better.

One does not have to do the totaling manually.  Also "wc" will only output a single numeric value which is convenient if you want to further process it.
