Can you send me a zip of simple project with gotest makefile?

Here it is. Gotest usage (if you get a FAIL from gotest don't worry, it is 
desired behavior):
cd path/to/factorial/src/pkg/factorial
gotest

The problem is that gotest is usually run in the package directory 
(src/pkg/package_name) and expects the Makefile in the same folder.

What about recreating the logic of gotest in eclipse, so we can get rid of 
those makefiles.

I added the _testmain.go file generated by gotest in the cmd directory. But 
since *_test.go files are ignored by goclipse, I renamed my util_test.go to 
util_test_.go . So my testing environment is not too far from gotest and I 
could change it easily when gotest will be integrated or simulated in goclipse.

Note: AFAIK gotest doesn't work yet with local packages. (I mean without 
creating a specific MakeFile)

Update: latest Go weekly builds don't require custom makefiles for tests. They 
can be simply invoked by
go test <full_package_name_in_GOPATH>

As a result of Go 1, we just need a way to create a run configuration that 
invokes 'go test <pkg>'. This is necessary in order to debug failing tests.

Also, auto builds should (optionally) build the test binary. That way you can 
see errors as you code in test files as well as regular files.

Since the test files ARE go code files alos  they have to be compiled during 
auto-build. Otherwise the integrity of the project is lost.
