<subsection name="Overview">
<p>
The <code>commons-release:vote-txt</code> goal generates a VOTE.txt file for a component.
Execute the goal using the following command: <source>mvn commons-release:vote-txt</source>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> The VOTE.txt should be regenerated before every release candidate.
</p>
<p>
This goal uses the following:
<ul>
<li>The goal is mapped to the ant script/target using the <code>vote-txt</code> mojo defintion in the
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-release-plugin/trunk/src/main/scripts/generate-xdocs.mojos.xml">generate-xdocs.mojos.xml</a> mapping document</li>
<li>Executes the <code>vote-txt</code> target in
<a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-release-plugin/trunk/src/main/scripts/generate-xdocs.build.xml">generate-xdocs.build.xml</a>
ant script</li>
<li>Uses the <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/commons-release-plugin/trunk/src/main/resources/commons-xdoc-templates/vote-txt-template.md">vote-txt-template.md</a>
template</li>
<li>Uses the <a href="vote-txt-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 VOTE.txt, the following <a href="vote-txt-mojo.html">properties</a> are configured in the component's <code>pom.xml</code>
<ul>
<li><b>commons.componentid</b> - Commons component ID</li>
<li><b>commons.release.version</b> - The version number of the latest release of the component</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>

<source><![CDATA[
<properties>
<commons.componentid>chain</commons.componentid>
<commons.release.version>1.4</commons.release.version>
</properties>
