The last thing I want to do is submit an issue, and then find out it's a user error, but I spent the last couple hours searching, and cannot find any other place to get help on errors. If there is a more appropriate channel, please direct me there.

I am developing using Kepler Service Release 1 on Windows 7. I installed the JSHint plugin without any issue, restarted the program, and added *.js files to the project properties. However, nothing shows up, and I periodically get this error: Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'JSHint Problem Checker' on project 'awesome'. Expected name at 1:2

Is this an error, or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Looks like a JSON error in your JSHint configuration. Please check both the workspace preferences (Main menu > Window > Preferences > JSHint > Configuration) and your project's properties (Context menu on your project 'awesome' > Properties > JSHin > Configuration).

That was it. Comments are not allowed. Thanks.

Comments should be allowed. If you use the latest version (0.9.10), could you post your configuration in #76?

[ssaunders]

Unfortunately, I didn't save the config, so i can't post it. However, I have gone back and added comments in and it worked just fine. It would have looked something like this:

{ / "curly": true, "eqeqeq": true, "forin": true, "freeze": true, "immed": true, "latedef": true, "newcap":true, "noempty": true, "nonew": true, "quotmark":true, "undef": true, "unused": true, "laxbreak": true, "lastsemic": true, "smarttabs":true, "globals": { "Ext":true, "APP_NAME":true, "wt":true } /

"browser": true, "devel": true }

I think I assumed it was the comments because the error seemed to be referring to the first part of the config, and that was where the comment was.

...and then I found it.

{
/*

  "eqeqeq": true,

}

It turns out I'm using "JSHint Eclipse Integration 0.9.9.20131029-1050", but when I update, "No updates [are] found".

[ralfstx]

Right, 0.9.9 is the latest published version. I was using a build from the latest sources.
