Installation

Installation Requirements:

  • Java VM version 8 or later.
  • Eclipse 4.6 (Neon) or later.
  • CDT 9.0 or later (this will be installed or updated automatically as part of the steps below).

Instructions:

  1. Use your existing Eclipse, or download a new Eclipse package from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
  1. Start Eclipse, go to Help -> Install New Software...
  2. Click the Add... button, then enter the Update Site URL: http://goclipse.github.io/releases/ in the Location field, click OK.
  3. Select the recently added update site in the Work with: dropdown. Type GoClipse in the filter box. Now the Goclipse feature should appear below.
  4. Select the GoClipse feature, make sure "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" is enabled, and complete the wizard.
  • Dependencies such as CDT will automatically be added during installation.
  1. Restart Eclipse.
  2. Follow the instructions from the User Guide's Configuration section to configure the required external tools. It is recommended you read the rest of the guide too.

Updating:

If you already have GoClipse installed, and want to update it to a newer release, click Help -> Check for Updates....

🇨🇳 Note for users in China

Note: if you are behind the Great Firewall of China, you are very likely to encounter problems installing GoClipse: blocked connections, timeouts, or slow downloads. This is because the update site is hosted in Github, which is blocked or has limited access. These alternative instructions should let you perform the installation:

  1. Download an Eclipse installation which already contains CDT (such as the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" package), so CDT doesn't have to be downloaded during installation.
  2. Download the website from https://github.com/GoClipse/goclipse.github.io/archive/master.zip, unpack the archive and use the releases directory as a Local repository instead of the Update Site URL. Uncheck the option "Contact all updates sites during installation to find required software" so only the local repository is used.
  • Note however: you will likely need to re-download the archive above whenever you want to update GoClipse to a newer version.
