If you want your portlet to be available in the liferay control panel, just add the following line in your liferay-portlet.xml:


<control-panel-entry-category>content</control-panel-entry-category>
<control-panel-entry-weight>15</control-panel-entry-weight>

• control-panel-entry-category: The category where your plugin portlet will appear.
• There are total 4 values you can use as per your requirements for category element.
1. my
2. content
3. portal
4. server

• control-panel-entry-category: Determine the relative position in your relevant category portlet.The higher the number, the lower in the list your portlet will appear within that category. 

• control-panel-entry-class: This is optional and is used to define rights (Who can see the portlet in the control panel).
