Overview

The commons-release:vote-txt goal generates a VOTE.txt file for a component. Execute the goal using the following command:

mvn commons-release:vote-txt

Note: The VOTE.txt should be regenerated before every release candidate.

This goal uses the following:

• The goal is mapped to the ant script/target using the vote-txt mojo definition in the generate-xdocs.mojos.xml mapping document
• Executes the vote-txt target in generate-xdocs.build.xml ant script
• Uses the vote-txt-template.md template
• Uses the goal's (i.e. mojo's) parameters to filter values in the template

Configuration

To generate a VOTE.txt, the following properties are configured in the component's pom.xml

• commons.componentid - Commons component ID
• commons.release.version - The version number of the latest release of the component

Example configuration for Commons Chain:

    <properties>
        <commons.componentid>chain</commons.componentid>
        <commons.release.version>1.5</commons.release.version>
    </properties>
