INTELLIJ Support

INTELLIJ support on Mac OSX

Install Community Edition of INTELLIJ, and install the Golang.org plugin.

Then set up GOROOT and GOPATH in the /etc/launchd.conf file (which may need to be created by root) so as to get INTELLIJ to see these vars when started. These should be set to the same as they are in the host system. The Mac can be rebooted or issue

egrep -v '^\s*#' /etc/launchd.conf | launchctl

to make the new settings "take" straight away. Then restart INTELLIJ.

Create a new Go project for INTELLIJ, do not create a new src folder, but point to the src folder for libcontainer:

~/dev/go/github.com/docker/libcontainer

(for me).

There is more to do: the source files for the Go project need to be set:

• go to the module/project settings, and navigate to the SDK settings
• clear the stuff in the ClassPath section -- this is not needed
• make sure the $GOROOT/src/pkg (in full, not using the env var, I don't think) is present
