jslint for java http://code.google.com/p/jslint4java/
This is a java wrapper around the fabulous tool by Douglas Crockford, jslint (See http://jslint.com/). It provides a simple interface for detecting potential problems in JavaScript code.
You can run it on the command line:
% java -jar jslint4java-${project.version}.jar application.js
jslint:application.js:11:9:Line breaking error ')'.
jslint:application.js:11:10:Missing semicolon.
There are a multitude of options; try --help for more details.
The output is colon separated fields. The fields are:
- "jslint"
- the file name
- the line number (starting at zero)
- the character number (starting at zero)
- the problem that was found
You may also use the jar as an ant task. The quickest way to get started is
to drop it in ~/.ant/lib. See docs/ant.html for more details.
NB: The packaged jar file includes a builtin version of rhino (a JavaScript engine). If this causes trouble, you can download a standalone version through the maven repository.
If you wish to use jslint4java from within Java, please use a maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.jslint4java</groupId>
<artifactId>jslint4java</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>
