Project validation (jshint) hangs when it contains big files

[orlandoibm]

Steps:

1. Clone this repository.
2. Convert it into a Tern project
3. Enable JSHint validation
4. Allow Eclipse to validate the project.

The validation process hangs on the file "lib/words.js" and if tracing in the console, the only message shown is:

Tern request#jshint: {"query":{"type":"jshint","lineNumber":true,"file":"lib/words.js"}}

While in the Progress view, it says:

Validation... Tern Validator starting to validate: words.js

After debugging, it seems that the problem comes from JSHint 2.9.1 (I have tried with simple command jshint and there is the same problem). I have created the issue at https://github.com/jshint/jshint/issues/2866

For tern.java, it should be good that to stop the validator when JSHint hangs. I have none idea for the moment how we could do that.
