Hello, I'm delighted that Eclipse supports plugins for all the languages I need. However, I believe there should be a more efficient method for configuring compilers for specific languages and a simpler way to execute them. I often encounter challenges when the build process requires an Ant method that I can't configure. In total, I downloaded 227 MB of Eclipse, including addons for Java, Python, C/C++, Kotlin, Perl 5, Lisp, and Prolog. However, the Golang installation encountered a configuration error, requesting a Java 8 SDK, whereas I have the Java 17 SDK installed.

I understand your frustration with the current compiler configuration process in Eclipse and the challenges you've faced with the Ant method and Golang installation. While Eclipse offers a wide range of language support through plugins, the setup and execution of compilers could be streamlined for a more user-friendly experience.
The Ant method issue highlights the need for more intuitive and accessible build tools integration within Eclipse. A straightforward configuration wizard or graphical interface for specifying build steps would be more user-friendly, especially for those unfamiliar with Ant syntax.
Regarding the Golang installation, the requirement for a Java 8 SDK seems outdated, considering the widespread adoption of Java 17. Eclipse should be compatible with the latest Java versions to ensure compatibility with newer Golang tools and libraries.
Overall, Eclipse has made significant strides in providing comprehensive language support and development tools. However, there's room for improvement in streamlining the compiler configuration process, simplifying build tool integration, and ensuring compatibility with the latest Java versions to better serve its user base.
