Hi Guys
Not sure if this is a simple task or not or if anyone knows where i can read up on achieving this
I downloaded an app called easypage which lets you generate visual force pages from your custom built objects, so after i installed it i though great this will be easy and help me with my progression of learning to build visual force pages after i installed it i then needed to install the force.com IDE, now i have to figure out how to upload a page layout meta-data file from your Force.com IDE project, but i don’t have a clue where to start, i have logged in to the force.com ide and am trying to figure it out but it could be something simple that i am missing as i don’t know where to start looking :S
if anyone could point me in the right direction this would be ace and greatly appreciated but if it extremely complicated and to much to explain here its no probs :)

If you haven't already added your Salesforce.com instance to the IDE, do so like this. Then:
1. Right click your project in the IDE and click on Properties. Go to Force.com -> Project Contents. It might give you an error -- ignore that error.
2. Press the Add/Remove button. Go down to Layouts and check on the page layouts you want.
3. Press OK and OK again to exit out of the properties window, and it will download the selected layouts.
4. Open up your project and you'll find the page layouts under src > layouts. To copy out a layout, double-click it. It will open in "design" mode -- change it to "source" mode by clicking the Source tab at the bottom of its page. There's your XML. Copy-paste away.
