JsLint Eclipse Plugin 1.2.11

JsLint is a well-know JavaScript validation library developed by Douglas Crockford. The library allows developer to validate JavaScript against a set of best practices that have been developed over the years. RockstarApps has brought this functionality to Eclipse. JsLint can be easily activated by an Editor Action in any JavaScript file or from the "Navigator" view. The image below shows how to activate the JsLint validator from an Editor.

- Right clicking with in an editor. Select the [RockstarApps -> Validate with JsLint...] menu item. Validates the file being edited.
- Right click on one or more JavaScript files in the "Navigator" view.
- Right click on one or more Folders or a Project to validate all the JavaScript files contained with in the selected items.
- Selecting a file in the Navigator and pressing "Ctrl+Shift+V" will activator the JsLint validation.

Update URL
The correct update URL is http://update.rockstarapps.com/, see http://update.rockstarapps.com/index.html
Otherwise very nice plugin, very handy to get the JSLint validation right from your Eclipse editor, instead of having to use JSLint.com, still playing with it but it looks to have some nice features:
* allow to choose the checks;
* allow to choose a list of files to be rechecked on save (as opposed to a project builder that might check libraries that you include, rather than just your own code);
