Note for the users in the China

If you is behind the great Firewall of China, you is very likely to encounter problems installing goclipse:blocked conn Ections, timeouts, or slow downloads. This was because the update site is hosted on Github, which is blocked or have limited access. These alternative steps might help you perform the installation:

• 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. However, you'll need to redownload the archive above whenever you want to update goclipse to a newer version.
• Download an Eclipse installation which already contains CDT (C development Tools), so it doesn ' t has to be installed at T He same time as goclipse.
