# 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 (manifest.mf , plugin.xml and build.properties).

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.
