Use Create/My Account portlet Liferay 6.1 GA

Introduction:-
To instantiate My account portlet in our portal. There is a bit different approach to follow than in the other version of liferay
(Ref:- http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-33940?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel)

Note:- It is assumed that the system is set up with Liferay 6.1 tomcat bundle and eclipse is configured with the same sdk

Steps:-

1. Create an ext plugin.
    i) In Eclipse(Liferay developer studio) Go to New->Liferay Project
    ii) In the "New Liferay Project" dialog. Write the "Project Name:" (e.g    MyPortal)
    iii) Select "Plugin" type as ext.
    iv) Press the "Finish" button.

2. In your MyPortal-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-web/docroot/WEB-INF/liferay-portlet-ext.xml. Write the following code
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE liferay-portlet-app PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Portlet Application 6.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-portlet-app_6_1_0.dtd">

<liferay-portlet-app>
    <portlet>
        <portlet-name>2</portlet-name>
        <system>false</system>
    </portlet>

</liferay-portlet-app>

(Explanation :- 
system

Set the system value to true if the portlet is a system portlet that a user cannot manually add to their page. The default value is false.

)

3. Add following code to MyPortal-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-web/docroot/WEB-INF/portlet-ext.xml.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<portlet-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/portlet/portlet-app_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">
    <portlet>
        <portlet-name>2</portlet-name>
        <display-name>My Account</display-name>
        <portlet-class>com.liferay.portlet.StrutsPortlet</portlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <name>template-path</name>
            <value>/html/portlet/my_account/</value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <name>view-action</name>
            <value>/my_account/edit_user</value>
        </init-param>
        <expiration-cache>0</expiration-cache>
        <supports>
            <mime-type>text/html</mime-type>
        </supports>
        <resource-bundle>com.liferay.portlet.StrutsResourceBundle</resource-bundle>
    </portlet>
</portlet-app>

5. Add the below code to the file:-
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE resource-action-mapping PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Resource Action Mapping 6.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-resource-action-mapping_6_1_0.dtd">

<resource-action-mapping>
    <portlet-resource>
        <portlet-name>2</portlet-name>
        <permissions>
            <supports>
                <action-key>ADD_TO_PAGE</action-key>
                <action-key>ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL</action-key>
                <action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
                <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
            </supports>
            <site-member-defaults />
            <guest-defaults />
            <guest-unsupported>
                <action-key>ADD_TO_PAGE</action-key>
                <action-key>ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL</action-key>
                <action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
                <action-key>VIEW</action-key>
            </guest-unsupported>
        </permissions>
