I'm starting to get a little over my head with my present knowledge of Eclipse plugin development. I have tried adding XML files and ' plugin.xml' entries for all of them, with no effect. Now there are multiple JAR files installed with the Goclipse plugin, with fully-qualified plugin ID's such as ' ', ' ', etc. breaking the mapping in 'Eclipse Color Theme'. I *believe* the issue is that the plugin ID for Goclipse used to be ' goclipse' when that pull request was made, and has changed since then. This fix has since stopped working (at least for me!). In a nutshell, that 'Eclipse Color Theme' plugin just needs a simple XML file for each plugin that it integrates with, and an entry in the root ' plugin.xml' mapping each XML file to each plugin ID. and he was nice enough to solve the problem and issue a pull request to the 'Eclipse Color Theme' project maintainers, who merged it: Apparently two years ago, GitHub user ' devoncarew' wrote about this in the old Google Code issue-tracker for Goclipse: Goclipse always uses the Eclipse default colors no matter what, and they are completely unusable on a dark background. I've noticed that when I change themes, Goclipse does not update its text color settings. Like many Eclipse users, I use the 'Eclipse Color Theme' plugin ( ) to easily toggle pre-defined themes like Zenburn, etc.
