I've been using PC-Lint with MPLAB for a couple of years now and it has been really useful. MPLAB is about to change to be a netbeans based IDE and I've not found any netbeans plugins for PC-Lint.

Does anyone have experience in PC-Lint integration with netbeans or MPLAB X IDE?

TIA

    Microchip have now said they've released a plug-in for PC-Lint, see http://www.microchip.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=539884&high=lint – fluffyben Aug 02 '11 at 07:39
  • WARNING WITH PLUG-IN! The lint process works fine on individual files but doesn't lint across files. The plug-in applies lint on a file by file basis i.e. if you have 2 files then lint.exe will be run twice. What it needs to do is to be run once on all of the files. This helps reduce redundancy on a project for things shared between files. – fluffyben May 27 '14 at 14:16

As @fluffyben said, Microchip announced a plugin release for PC-Lint.

I'll put here how to proceed:

  • From within MPLAB X select menu Tools|Plugins

Select Tools|Plugins

  • Select Settings tab

Select Settings tab

Add URL

  • In the "Available Plugins" tab, find PCLint, select it and install.

Select PCLint and install

  • Verify if PCLint is installed in the "Installed" tab.

PCLint installed

  • Close plugins window and select menu Help|Help Contents

Menu Help Contents

  • Now go through the help file because usage is different from the MPLAB 8.
