The default plugin Jslint is too old to support new features, such as es6

Jslint stop scanning while encounter const keyword. So I have to use Douglas Crockford's lastest jslint.js to override the local one at /src/extensions/default/JSLint/thirdparty/jslint/jslint.js and do a little following change on src/extensions/default/JSLint/main.js and it works great.

var jslintResult = jslint(text, options);
if (!jslintResult || jslintResult.ok) {
return null;
}
var errors = jslintResult.warnings.map(function (jslintError) {
return {
pos: { line: jslintError.line, ch: jslintError.column },
message: jslintError.message,
type: CodeInspection.Type.WARNING
};
});
var result = { errors: errors, aborted: false };
if (jslintResult.stop) {
var lastError = {
pos: {
line: jslintResult.warnings[jslintResult.warnings.length - 1].line,
ch: jslintResult.warnings[jslintResult.warnings.length - 1].column
},
message: 'Scanning stopped ...',
type: CodeInspection.Type.META
};
result.aborted = true;
result.errors.push(lastError);
}
return result;

Could anyone help to update the jslint to a newer version ?

Brackets is moving to using ESLint as the default linter in 1.6, see adobe/brackets#11984 for more info. The status of JSLint is still undecided afaik but PR upgrading JSLint in the core would be appriciated

@peterflynn Could you update the JSLint fork? And since we use the submodule take advantage of it and add an UMD wrapper?
