You have to edit opencms-modules.xml file in WEB-INF/config/ folder.
See documentation or opencms's modules which contains xsd files for example.

The section for your module in opencms-modules.xml file should be like this:

<module>
            <name>biz.oles.opencms.poll</name>
            <nicename/>
            <class/>
            <description/>
            <version>1.2</version>
            <authorname/>
            <authoremail/>
            <datecreated/>
            <userinstalled/>
            <dateinstalled/>
            <dependencies/>
            <exportpoints>
                <exportpoint
uri="/system/modules/biz.oles.opencms.poll/lib/"
destination="WEB-INF/lib/"/>
                <exportpoint
uri="/system/modules/biz.oles.opencms.poll/classes/"
destination="WEB-INF/classes/"/>
            </exportpoints>
            <resources>
                <resource uri="/system/modules/biz.oles.opencms.poll/"/>
                <resource
uri="/system/workplace/resources/filetypes/poll.gif"/>
            </resources>
            <parameters/>
            <resourcetypes>
                <type
class="org.opencms.file.types.CmsResourceTypeXmlContent" name="poll"
id="333">
                    <properties>
                        <property>
                            <name>content-conversion</name>
                            <value
type="shared"><![CDATA[cleanup;xhtml]]></value>
                        </property>
                        <property>
                            <name>template-elements</name>
                            <value type="shared"><![CDATA[]]></value>
                        </property>
                    </properties>
                    <param
name="schema">/system/modules/biz.oles.opencms.poll/schemas/poll.xsd</param>
                </type>
            </resourcetypes>
            <explorertypes>
                <explorertype name="poll" key="fileicon.poll"
icon="poll.gif" reference="xmlcontent">
                    <newresource page="structurecontent"
uri="newresource_xmlcontent.jsp?newresourcetype=poll" order="333"
autosetnavigation="false" autosettitle="false" info="desc.poll"/>
                    <accesscontrol>
                        <accessentry principal="ROLE.WORKPLACE_USER"
permissions="+r+v+w+c"/>
                    </accesscontrol>
                </explorertype>
            </explorertypes>
        </module>
