[atf-dev] Cannot find jslint.js

["John J. Barton" <johnjbarton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

JSLintValidator.java getJSLintReader currently has :
InputStream stream = JavaScriptValidatorPlugin.getDefault().openStream(new 
Path("jslint.js"));

If jslint.js is not found a stack trace results (see below).  As a user I 
had to read the
source to figure out that my install was incomplete.  A much better error 
message
would be
    *  Go to the URL, http://www.jslint.com/fulljslint.js
    * Save the file as jslint.js in <your 
eclipse>/plugins/org.eclipse.atf.javascript.validator
(Assuming that is correct).
    * OR uncheck 
Window->Preferences->Validation->JavascriptSyntaxValidator to disable jslint.

BTW I think its a mistake to build a dependency on jslint.js; the license 
has an ambiguous
religion clause that effectively prevents redistribution by responsible 
people.
