title: Getting Eclipse to recognise a Pylint "pylint.rc" file
body: <p>I'm trying to get Eclipse to recognise the PyLint configuration file that I use in Jenkins. At the moment Eclipse pylint swamps me with useless errors. I've tried passing in the rcfile parameter. So...</p>
  
  <p>Windows > preferences > PyDev > PyLint</p>
  
  <p>Then in "arguments to pass to pylint" I have
  --rcfile=absolute_path_to_pylint.rc</p>
  
  <p>This has no effect.</p>
  
  <p>I've read that pylint will work if you drop a config file in your home directory, or set an Environmental variable (See: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7665579/permanent-config-file-in-pylint">Permanent Config File in Pylint</a>) but both these solutions are a little unwieldy.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
