Sunil,

First thing you should try is unpacking your Plugins-SDK folder (which I believe you've already done judging by your LinkedIn post).

I normally have the following structure:

  • code - This is my Plugins-SDK
  • data
  • deploy
  • tomcat

Then you'll need to modify your ${PLUGINS-SDK}/build.${USERNAME}.properties file to point to your deploy directory.

The you can try copying your Liferay 5 theme folder to your plugins-sdk folder/themes/

Finally run ant clean deploy inside of the themes folder to deploy it.

~~ UPDATE ~~

See the "Writing your theme" section of this page: http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Themes+v6.0

This explains about setting up a _diffs folder where you'll add your changes to the default theme. The contents of _diffs is then used to override the defaults.
