reintroduce jlint Java static analysis tool?

2016-02-09 Thread Paul Wise
Hi all,

I noticed that the jlint package was removed. jlint is a static
analysis tool for Java. As such, I think it is an important tool to
have in Debian so that maintainers and upstreams can check code written
in Java for potential bugs and get those fixed upstream.

Is anyone planning to or willing to reintroduce jlint?

A couple of other projects someone might want to package:

https://code.google.com/p/error-prone/

Hi Paul,

jlint doesn't seem actively maintained and we already have findbugs and
checkstyle in Debian. Do you need jlint for a specific task?
