After a lot of troubleshooting, I've simplified my test case to just this... I'm using only a brand new download of Eclipse Juno and the JSHint plugin. Then I start a new project. The checkbox 'Enable project specific settings' within JSHint's preferences pane is checked. I've left Predefined globals empty. Within JSHint options I've put 'trailing: true'. The only file in my project is foo.js. It has one line:
foo.bar();
This line has a trailing whitespace. When saved, the trailing whitespaces throws a warning, but the undefined foo does not. When I correct the trailing whitespace, foo is undefined still does not appear. I've tried a number of other combinations of undefined variables to no avail. I've even tried adding some non-sense to the predefined variables to see if that does anything. Nope.
What am I doing wrong? Why isn't this working?
