First off, many thanks for an awesome IDE which is a perfect fit for Go.
One major PITA for all Go developers (regardless of IDE) is the need for custom
"workspaces". Go gives us GOROOT/GOPATH/etc and leaves the rest to the
developer and/or IDE. Indeed LiteIDE supports a custom GOPATH which I find very
useful. But even that is not always enough. The general solution is to use
custom scripts and/or symlinks which is self-defeating and often difficult to
implement and manage, especially in MS Windows.
So let me propose what I think would be an awesome feature for LiteIDE. It
comes in two parts:
1. Instead of having a single set of global options (for App, Env, Editor,
Build, etc), allow these options to be saved in pre-defined "workspaces". Users
who do not need this feature would use the "default" workspace.
2. Opening a folder in the LiteIDE file menu should automatically load the
"workspace" associated with that folder. This could be achieved using a
liteide.cfg file in the folder's root directory which simply identifies the
folder's workspace. If the config file is not present then the default
workspace would be used. Note that a "folder" could contain a single project or
multiple projects organised in a classic Go src/pkg/bin tree.
It is worth noting that the latest version of the Google App Engine SDK now
supports GOROOT/GOPATH/etc. See:
http://blog.golang.org/2013/01/the-app-engine-sdk-and-workspaces-gopath.html
My suggested feature would be ideal for anyone who wants to develop both GAE
apps and stand-alone apps using the same IDE.
