Thanks for the goclipse project, which enables me to develop with golang in eclipse. However, as goclipse stopped updating, a large number of functions began to become unavailable. In order to better carry out golang development under eclipse, I try to use lsp4e to develop the golang plug-in of eclipse. Now, in this plugin, the editor for golang text is basically available. However, there is still a lot of work to be done to make this plugin more complete, functional and useful.
If you think this plug-in has space for optimization, welcome to join me to modify it. After all, one's energy is limited.
Implemented features:
- Code highlighting
- Automatic completion
- Go to definition
- Other LSP support features
- build
- go mod commands
- go project neature
Next development plan:
- Code debugging of golang using delve-dap and gdb-dap.

Best IDE for Go
Submitted by Talley Ouro on Fri, 10/17/2025 - 22:12
Just use VS Code + Go plugin for VS Code. It is the best and it is free.
Go plugin for VS has everything you need to develop your go programs.
It has a powerful debugger also.

As stated above by OP, it would be easier/more intuitive if marketplace install worked. Thanks for all your hard work
