The main interface of Eclipse for editing Go

  1. First download and installEclipse
  2. DownloadgoclipsePluginhttps://github.com/GoClipse/goclipse/blob/latest/documentation/Installation.md#installation

  3. Download gocode for Go code completion hints.

    gocode's GitHub address:

    https://github.com/nsf/gocode

    On Windows, you need to install Git, usually usingmsysgit。

    Then install under cmd:

    go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode

    You can also download the code and directly use go build to compile it, which will generate gocode.exe.

  4. DownloadMinGWAnd install it as required
  5. Configure plugin

    Windows->Reference->Go

    (1) Configure Go's compiler

    Set some basic information about Go

    (2) Configure Gocode (optional, code completion), and set the Gocode path to the previously generated gocode.exe file.

    Set gocode information

    (3) Configure GDB (optional, for debugging), set the GDB path to the gdb.exe file in the MingW installation directory

    Set GDB information

  6. Test whether it was successful

    Create a new Go project, and then create a hello.go file. As shown below:

    Create a new project and edit files

    Debug as follows (you need to enter commands in the console to debug):
