   app.server.dir = D:/pFiles/portal-6.0.5/tomcat-6.0.26

   contains path  to your liferay tomcat.
   then  open command Prompt. Go to your liferay-sdk->portlets-> Employee-portlet
   then Type ant deploy.
   
   As soon as it is deployed you would be able to see some message in your Tomcat Server 1 portlet available for use.
   
   Goto http://localhost:8080 in your browser or whatever port number you are using that you can verify in your running tomcat server. Login happily as admin and add the portlet. Here you go......, you can see your own custom portlet.
   
   Note:- If you are able to add only once(oopsy :P ...No Worries :) ). Go to liferay-portlet.xml and set
   
   <instanceable>true</instanceable>
   Deploy it once again and refresh your page in the browser.
