Problem is, I am able to run the code successfully, and get

Status is: Succeeded The file components.zip was successfully deployed

But, I dont see the new field created. test__c is the field Im trying to create.

Any inputs will be truly appreciated. Note: I have removed some part here in Account.object to bypass character limit of stackexchange.

thanks

I'm not sure if it will work for you, so I won't put this as an answer, but you might like to try my team's product gearset.com to try your deployment. It's currently free and takes about 30s to get started with so you might want to try it whilst you wait for another answer :) — Kevin Boyle, Commented Mar 30, 2015 at 14:07
What tool are you using to execute this deployment? If ANT, is your checkOnly set to true? If so, set that to false or remove that attribute and it should work. — Sridhar, Commented Mar 30, 2015 at 17:12
@KevinBoyle Im using Java code referred in the question to deploy. Any help with java code would help — user70523, Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 5:44

@user70523 The java code set the API version to 29 while the URL points to 33. I would sync both to 29. That said, I dont have much experience with the Java code but I am willing to spend some time with you. Drop me a line at sridhar at dreamfactory dot com and I will setup some time today. Good luck! — Sridhar, Commented Mar 31, 2015 at 15:40
