# Overview

The Specfile Editor Plug-in for Eclipse provides useful features to help developers manage `.spec` files. This plug-in allows users to leverage several Eclipse GUI features in editing `.spec` files, including outline/quick outline view in the editor, auto-completion, highlighting, file hyperlinks, and folding.

In addition, the Specfile Editor Plug-in also integrates the `rpmlint` tool into the Eclipse interface. `rpmlint` is a command-line tool that helps developers detect common RPM package errors. The richer visualization offered by the Eclipse interface helps developers quickly detect, view, and correct mistakes reported by `rpmlint`.

RPM plugin also supports the ability to create your own repository using the `createrepo` command. `createrepo` is a command-line tool that generates an xml-based RPM metadata repository from a set of RPMs. Eclipse offers this tool bundled with the RPM plugin to allow developers to create repositories in the same environment that they create their RPMs.
