How do I create and deploy custom settings for Salesforce, in Eclipse?

Question

I have some custom settings in my org, but I do not appear to be able to synchronise them with my project in Eclipse. I've scanned the 'Add/Remove Metadata Components', but I can't find anything related to custom settings. Nor can I find a new Force.com object of type Custom Settingngs.

I want to deploy my changes from Eclipse, to a different sandbox, but of course the custom settings are missing.

Is this just not possible or am I missing something?

Answer 1

The custom settings should be available as a custom object on the object's list. Did you refresh your metadata definition from server? (take a look to marked button on the screenshot below)
