Adding portlet in control panel

-

Open the liferay-portal.xml and add the following these 2 entries.

    1. <control-panel-entry-category>content </control-panel-entry-category>(Mandatory)
    2. <control-panel-entry-weight>2.0 </control-panel-entry-weight>(Mandatory)
    3.<control-panel-entry-class>  your-custom-class </control-panel-entry-class>(Optional)

1. Category is nothing but that which section your portlet should be appear in the control panel. If you see   the below screen shot it shows 4 options
      my,content,portal,server

2. Low value it appears higher in the section

3. It is optional , If you didn't specify this entry it will take default class which defined in the portal.properties

    #
    # Set the name of a class that implements
    # com.liferay.portlet.ControlPanelEntry. This class denotes the default
    # value of of the element "control-panel-entry-class" in liferay-portlet.xml
    # and is called by the Control Panel to decide whether the portlet should be
    # shown to a specific user in a specific context.
    #
    control.panel.default.entry.class=com.liferay.portlet.DefaultControlPanelEntry
