Does anybody know how to selectively choose what objects and files to deploy from a SDF project? I mean, I would like to leaave some objects out of the project:deploy task

manually adjust your

deploy.xml

to only reference the files you want deployed.

This is ok For ACPs. Becareful with suiteapps, whatever you left out of deploy xml, will also ve deleted from your account.

That's a good point - I'm only working with Account Customization Projects

Yes anything deployed using the appid, if left out from deploy xml/ or deleted from your local project will delete it from the account in subsequent deploy.

thanks for all your answers

I want to completely bypass deploying anything from my file cabinet; What is the best approach? Just comment out the files and path object? (for a simple account customization project)

<deploy>
    <configuration>
        <path>~/AccountConfiguration/*</path>
    </configuration>
<!--    <files>-->
<!--        <path>~/FileCabinet/</path>-->
<!--    </files>-->
    <objects>
        <path>~/Objects/marketplace/*</path>
    </objects>
    <translationimports>
        <path>~/Translations/*</path>
    </translationimports>
</deploy>
