Long time since, I decided to create a blog to share some interesting stuff. Thought this is the right time as i got some thing interesting to share on.
I was trying to setup a golang dev environment. https://tour.golang.org/ provides a detailed information about the language and that is definitely a must go through if you are interested in learning go. The challenge is on setting up an IDE for the development.
Out of multiple options available. I preferred to go with an UBUNTU ECLIPSE combination. I am skipping the debate on what is the best IDE for go. I chose Ubuntu and Eclipse after reading few articles and reached a logical conclusion to go with this combination.
In this blog i will explain step by step on what i did to get this environment in a Virtual-box VM.
STEP 1 : Install Ubuntu OS in virutal box. (This is optional, based on weather you already have an Ubuntu installtion.)
STEP 2: Network setting for this Ubuntu VM should be as shown below.
NAT + Host adapter combination.

STEP 3: Power on Vms after saving all settings
STEP 4: Install golang
Among various installation procedures given , this seems to be really useful and a working link.
