Javascript source code analysis ( specifically duplication checking )

Partial duplicate of this Notes: I already use JSLint extensively via a tool I wrote that scans in intervals my current project directory for recently updated/created .js files. It's drastically improved productivity for me and I doubt there is anything as good as JSLint for the price (it's free). That said, is there any analysis tool...

My text editor of choice for PHP work is Panic's Coda. But for Ruby on Rails, its autocomplete feature is continuously in my way and ROR's standardization on 2 space tabs does not play well with Coda's settings.

Is there a good wsdl and xsd editor?

I've found the wsdl editor in Eclipse to be bug-ridden. Netbeans dropped their wsdl plugin sometime ago. Is there a good editor that allows you to create and edit wsdl and xsd files?
