This is just a recommendation and you should try this in your environment to see if it works correctly.
Approach
- WebLogic resource properties file will be copied to <Endpoint Working Directory>/wlresources/<Project Id> at the end of successful deployment. This means that at the end of deployment we are trying remember artifact state of last deployment.
- At start of Deployment, we will compare project version artifacts folder files with previously deployed files and will deploy only changed files.
You can achieve this by using following workflow. Create new Deploy Workflow and copy following Source in that workflow. You can also modify existing Workflow with source.

Now you can use this workflow on your WebLogic resources project. Here is what workflow design looks like.
WebLogic plugin createOrUpdateWeblogicConfig operation is used to perform deployment. But there are two shell plugin operations used, 1) Find changed files 2) update state folder with latest files that were deployed.
Here is code for two shell plugin operations for your quick reference, code for Shell plugin is also part of Workflow XML provided above in this page.
