Field Set Metadata in Eclipse

I have a few Field Sets defined on various Standard Objects that I want to deploy using Eclipse.

However I cannot find where they are defined when using Add/Remove Metadata in Eclipse.

 

Thanks for your help

Hi Neal,

the Eclipse IDE has not been updated yet to use the latest metadata API.

Please check here for updates:

http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Force.com_IDE .

or from the Force.com Start page on Eclipse, click on "Check for Updates" link.

Alternatively, you can use the Force.com Migration Tool which uses the latest Metadata API.

It is an Ant based tool which you can download from an org.

Here are instructions on how to set it up: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_deploying_ant.htm .

To confirm which metadata is available on API version 21 I would recommend reading the Metadata API developer's guide:

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/index_Left.htm?fieldsets .

Changesets can also be used to deploy metadata including fieldsets from a sandbox to a production environment:
