Hi,

I'm looking for a tool that checks JS code, which can be integrated into a Maven build. I need a tool that will check for errors such as

  1. use of reserved words as identifiers
  2. trailing semi-colon, e.g.

    var obj = { a: 1, b, 2, }

JSLint seems like a perfect candidate, but the problem is that it is too strict, because it also checks for various coding patterns which are (arguably) bad style, but do not actually generate errors in a browser. Examples of such issues include

Disallow ++ and --

and

Allow one var statement per function

If possible, I would like the errors to fail the build, and I would like the other rules to only print warnings (or disable them completely). Obviously, I need the ability to specify which of the available rules I consider errors and which I consider warnings.

Thanks, Don
