Simple JSHint Mojo

It's real simple and it runs JSHint on your *.js files.

Goals

• jshint:lint: runs jshint on your files (per your configuration settings)

Configuration Options

Option	Default Value	Explanation
version	2.5.6	Selects which embedded version of JSHint will be used
options		List of comma-separated JSHint options
globals		List of comma-separated JSHint globals
configFile		Path to a JSHint JSON config file. Its contents will override values set in options and globals, if present. Please note that block and line comments will be stripped prior to processing so it's OK to include them.
directories	<directory>src</directory>	Locations in which the plugin will search for *.js files
excludes		Excludes are resolved relative to the basedir of the module
reporter		If present, JSHint will generate a reporting file which can be used for some CI tools. Currently, jslint, html, and checkstyle formats are supported.
reportFile	target/jshint.xml	Path to an output reporting file
failOnError	true	Controls whether the plugin fails the build when JSHint is unhappy. Setting this to false is discouraged, as it removes most of the benefit of using this plugin. Instead, if you have problem files that you can't fix disable/override JSHint on a per-file basis, or tell the plugin to specifically exclude them in the excludes section
