## Exploring Module and Plugin APIs
Once the [dependency on a module or plugin](plugin_dependencies.md) is declared in plugin.xml, it's useful to explore the packages and classes available in that dependency.

+### Targeting IDEs Other Than GoLand
+
+Depending on the `com.intellij.modules.goland` allows a plugin to be installed in the GoLand IDE only.
+However, the Go plugin can be installed in [IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) and potentially other IDEs.
+To make the plugin compatible with GoLand and other IDEs supporting the Go language consider depending on:
+* `org.jetbrains.plugins.go` - The plugin will be loaded only when the Go plugin is actually installed in the running IDE.
+* `com.intellij.modules.go-capable` - The plugin will be loaded in IDEs that are capable of installing the Go plugin.
+ Note that the Go plugin doesn't have to be actually installed when this module is present.
