    1. Hello Hamidul..Can you please light upon the basic steps one should know on developing theme in liferay using liferay eclipse. I have worked in importing themes developed by some persons but haven't worked in development by myself. I have seen that eclipse already creates some default .vm files while we create new Liferay Theme project by using the wizard from eclipse.
