4.4. Eclipse Built-in Specfile Editor

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, such as 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.
The Specfile Editor for Eclipse is provided by the eclipse-rpm-editor package. For more information about this plug-in, refer to Specfile Editor User Guide in the Eclipse Help Contents.
