Allow running kibit w/o project.clj about kibit HOT 7 CLOSED

I'll be working on the plugin part of kibit the next couple of days. I have lots of ideas and I'll definitely keep this in mind. Currently, I'm aiming for something like:

$ lein kibit ;; Must be run inside a project. Will check all namespaces found in :source-paths

$ lein kibit some.namespace ;; Must be run inside a project and will only check some.namespace
                            ;; for example `$ lein kibit clojure.core.logic` would run kibit on 
                            ;; the clojure.core.logic namespace (if core.logic is one of the 
                            ;; dependencies specified in project.clj)

$ lein kibit "path/to/file.clj" ;; can be run outside a project to check any .clj file 

from kibit.

Sounds good though for the last one I think specifying directories should work too.

Agreed with the directory lookup.

Jonas, want me to tackle the plugin while you tackle the rules?

@ohpauleez - Thanks! Go for it!

Make sure you understand the difference between

• running with or without a project.clj,
• within the project process or within the leiningen process.

It's all very well described in the plugin guide. I think a "good" patch would also solve issue #26.

When running kibit in the project's process you could look at the very first released version of kibit on how to find a source file given a namespace symbol (note, this was broken only because I ran it within the leiningen process).

Is this issue dead, or implemented already?

I was looking at the documentation for Kibit, and didn't see a way to run it on a Clojure source file without using Leiningen, and came here. Is this functionality available, or planned?

Here's the status of the tasks

• Able to call lein kibit with one or more filenames or globbed filenames inside and outside a project
• Able to call lein kibit with a directory inside and outside a project
• Able to call lein kibit with one or more namespaces (not implemented currently)
• Update README with documentation on running in these modes

Most of this is implemented, I've put calling kibit with namespaces into #114.
