--------------------------------------------------------------
I have read documentation for customized skinning in Jboss Portal and could not 
find the exact steps that needs to be followed in getting this resolved.

 
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Portal_Platform/5.1/html/Reference_Guide/sect-Reference_Guide-Skinning_the_Portal-Creating_New_Skins.html
 
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Portal_Platform/5.1/html/Reference_Guide/sect-Reference_Guide-Skinning_the_Portal-Creating_New_Skins.html

Steps:

1. Create a new skin ( called MySkin)  in gatein.ear\01eXoResources.war\skin. 
For now, I just copied the DefaultSkin directory and renamed it to Myskin and 
also copied the StyleSheet.css into MySkinStyleSheet.css

2. Added the following to the the gatein-resources.xml 
(gatein.ear\01eXoResources.war\WEB-INF\gatein-resources.xml)

 # - <portal-skin>
  <skin-name>Default</skin-name>
  <css-path>/skin/Stylesheet.css</css-path>
  </portal-skin>
 *# - <portal-skin>*
*  <skin-name>MySkin</skin-name>*
*  <css-path>/skin/MySkinStylesheet.css</css-path>*
*  <overwrite>false</overwrite>*
*  </portal-skin>*
 
 
3. Added the following in portal.xml 
(\gatein.ear\02portal.war\WEB-INF\conf\portal\portal\classic) to attach the 
Myskin profile.
 
<access-permissions>Everyone</access-permissions>
  <edit-permission>*:/platform/administrators</edit-permission>
*  <skin>MySkin</skin>*
 
 
After doing that, I was able to see the MySkin in the list of the skins 
available in the UI but I was not able to accompolish the following.
 
a) I tried configuring the Portal skin preview and was showing blank screen in 
the preview ( from UI)
b) Are there any other changes that is needed in 02Portal.war/web.war? I am 
asking this because I saw there is another gatein-resources.xml which I am not 
sure the purpose of it? and there is a skin directory in the web.war file.
c)If we want to apply the changes to any of the Groovy compoenents. what is the 
best practice ( development process ) to be followed here?
 
*Thanks*
