Lint Java on save, with javac

linter-javac

This package will lint your .java opened files in Atom through javac.

This package will ensure all dependencies are installed on activation.

Installation

• Install java.
• $ apm install linter-javac

Settings

You can configure linter-javac by editing ~/.atom/config.cson (choose Open Your Config in Atom menu):

'linter-javac':
  # The path to javac.   The default (javac) should work as long as you have it
  # in your system PATH.
  'javaExecutablePath': "javac"
  # Extra classpath.  This will be appended to the classpath when executing javac.
  'classpath': ''

Classpath

It is strongly recommended that you configure your classpath via a .classpath file within your project (typically at the root). Simply create a file named .classpath somewhere within your project (ideally at the root of the project). The linter will search for this file by starting at the directory of the file being compiled and then searching all parent directories within the project. If you have more than one of these configuration files, it will use the one that is "closest" to the file being compiled. Within .classpath place only the classpath to be used for the project (nothing else). For example:

.:./lib/junit.jar

This linter will execute javac within the directory of the .classpath file, so relative paths can be considered to be relative to that file.

Other available linters

There are other linters available - take a look at the linters mainpage.
