This is a java wrapper around the fabulous tool by Douglas Crockford, jslint. It provides a simple interface for detecting potential problems in JavaScript code.

The usage is simple: 

  % java -jar jslint4java-1.4.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.

You might also be interested in the ant task. This lets you run jslint as part of your builds. For documentation, see the jslint4java-ant page. If you find this useful, you may also like the jsmin ant task for reducing the size of your JavaScript files.
