Metadata Types - Retrieve Question

Hi All:

Is it possible to retrieve in a package.xml manifest all of the metadata types listed in the help documentation? http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/Content/meta_types_list.htm

It's a bit confusing as some of the types have syntax examples for the how they could be retrieved in a package.xml file while others do not.  Is there a subset or another listing that shows only those items that can be both retrieved and deployed?

Thanks

Brian

I would try doing it via Eclipse. When you create a Force.com Project in Eclipse, it would ask you to add/remove metadatatypes, if you add all metadata types, when it retrieves those from Salesforce, it builds the manifest which contains all of these types.

Hopefully this should help.
