<subsection name="Overview">
<p>
The <code>commons-build:contributing-md</code> goal generates a CONTRIBUTING.md file for a component.
Execute the goal using the following command: <source>mvn commons-build:contributing-md</source>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> The CONTRIBUTING.md only needs to be generated once or if the template changes.
</p>
<p>
This goal uses the following:
<ul>
<li>The goal is mapped to the ant script/target using the <code>contributing-md</code> mojo defintion in the
<a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-build-plugin/trunk/src/main/scripts/generate-xdocs.mojos.xml">generate-xdocs.mojos.xml</a> mapping document</li>
<li>Executes the <code>contributing-md</code> target in
<a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-build-plugin/trunk/src/main/scripts/generate-xdocs.build.xml">generate-xdocs.build.xml</a>
ant script</li>
<li>Uses the <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-build-plugin/trunk/src/main/resources/commons-xdoc-templates/contributing-md-template.md">contributing-md-template.md</a>
template</li>
<li>Uses the <a href="contributing-md-mojo.html">goal's (i.e. mojo's) parameters</a> to filter values in the template</li>
</ul>
</p>
</subsection>
<subsection name="Configuration">
<p>
To generate a CONTRIBUTING.md, the following <a href="contributing-md-mojo.html">properties</a> are configured in the component's <code>pom.xml</code>
<ul>
<li><b>commons.jira.id</b> - JIRA's external (upper case) project id for the component</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Example configuration for Commons Chain:
<source><![CDATA[
<properties>
<commons.jira.id>CHAIN</commons.jira.id>
</properties>
]]></source>
