How about Ebay? I think that qualifies as a large, successful project:

Also, parts of Amazon's platform are Java too (along with C++ and Perl).
Your pinball game is surely a client-side application, is it not? Applets
may be one or the more visible aspects of Java but they are largely
irrelevant. The vast majority of commercial Java development is
server-side (i.e. web applications).
