GoClipse cannot open source code editor for a file in Git history - eclipse

Question

I write Go code in Eclipse. When I go in Show History from Team, then I would get a history list of the file modifications, click Open in the popup menu after right click on some entry. Eclipse can`t open the file from the history in the editor, instead, it shows an error:
Editor could not be initialized.
I am using Eclipse Neon (4.6), Build id: I20160606-1100 and EGit 4.8.0.201706111038-r
Below are the details about the error:

Who can tell me how to resolve the problem? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The error is not related to EGit. The stack trace indicates that the GoClipse plug-in cannot open an editor for the selected file: see the similar GoClipse issue 211.
The issue seems to be already fixed, an update of your Go plug-in should solve your problem.
