How install older Goclipse version? Cannot install Goclipse 16.1 on Eclipse 4.5.2 (Mars.2)


-Is there a way to install an older version of Goclipse, compatible with my Eclipse 4.5.2? -Or, is there a way I can manually install the missing dependencies (see below)?

I am using Eclipse 4.5.2 (Mars.2). When trying to install Goclipse, I only see version 16.1 which according to the Goclipse documentation requires Eclipse 4.6 or later.

The error I currently get when trying to install Goclipse 16.1 is:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

Solution

  • Try using this URL as a Eclipse Software Site: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GoClipse/goclipse.github.io/0.16.0/releases/

    It should allow you to install 0.16.0 (or a diff version if you change the URL)
