# Plug-in manifest editor

When the plug-in project is created, the manifest file is open in the plug-in manifest editor.

This multi-page editor is the central place to manage your plug-in and can be used to edit all the plug-in's file (plugin.xml, build.properties and manifest.mf).

When you use the editor's forms, PDE transparently handles the task of writing the changes to the right files.

The best way to learn about the plug-in manifest editor is to visit each page.
