Import Object field declarations?
Is it possible to import the design of an object, by that I mean can you create a csv that lists row by row the fieldname, datatype etc.. and import all the fields for an object then go in after and tweek things? I don't mean "data" here, I mean the field definitions. The reason I ask is I want to develop an app on SF that I already have elsewhere and it has a lot of fields, importing them into an Object would save a lot of time.
You can use Ant to export meta-data and then import it in another environnment.

you'll have to search for the exact format, but you'll have to create an xml file with all the component you want to create : fields for example and then with ant, you'll be able to create the design based on the xml file.
And yes, you'll be able to import the design for standard objects
