While #75 ran into blocking JSHint issue.
Can @eslint https://github.com/eslint/eslint be used?

It looks like eslint is the healthier project:

https://github.com/jshint/jshint/pulse/monthly
https://github.com/eslint/eslint/pulse/monthly

However, eslint's parser doesn't do progressive parsing:

How ESLint differs from JSHint

Despite similar goals, ESLint and JSHint have some very specific differences. First and foremost, JSHint uses a progressive parser, finding errors along the way. ESLint uses Esprima, so the parsing is done first and then the rules are applied. That means JSHint will print out warnings up to and including a syntax error where ESLint will show only the syntax error. This makes JSHint much better for use in editors.

Esprima does have an issue for incremental parsing but it doesn't look like anyone's actively working on it.

If you are interested I have started to integrate ESLInt inside Eclipse angelozerr/tern.java#234
