history
Project history and usage
jslint4java is a Java wrapper around Douglas Crockford's JSLint. It packaged JavaScript linting for Java-centric build environments by exposing command-line, Ant, Maven, and library integrations.
Project history
The Maven POM records an inception year of 2007, Dominic Mitchell as developer, Google Code issue management, and GitHub as the source-control location. The archived project description and GitHub README describe it as a simple interface for detecting potential problems in JavaScript code.
Adoption history
The package was useful in the period before JavaScript linting consolidated around Node.js-based tools. Java shops could run JSLint from Maven or Ant without introducing a separate JavaScript runtime into the build.
How it is used
Typical usage was running the jar from the command line against JavaScript files, wiring the Ant task into an Ant build, or using the Maven plugin during a build phase to fail on lint errors.
Why package nerds care
jslint4java is a small fossil from the Google Code and Java build-tool era: a Java wrapper that made a JavaScript quality tool fit Maven Central, Ant, and distro packaging before npm-based linting became the common packaging path.
Timeline
- 2007: The upstream Maven POM records the project inception year.
- 2011: Version 2.0.0 appears in the Git tag series.
- 2013: Version 2.0.5 appears as the later tagged release in the upstream repository.
- 2015: Google Code shuts down project hosting, leaving the Google Code Archive page as the historical homepage.
