[MNG-8011] Neuter the README (#1470)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The site already contains all the required information, point user at it. It would be insane for us to maintain all these information here as well (as example shows, it was totally outdated).

Keep it short, and just keep pointers to proper info sources.

Windows
unzip apache-maven-3.x.y.zip

2) A directory called "apache-maven-3.x.y" will be created.

3) Add the bin directory to your PATH, e.g.:

Unix-based operating systems (Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X)
export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.x.y/bin:$PATH
Windows
set PATH="c:\program files\apache-maven-3.x.y\bin";%PATH%

4) Make sure JAVA_HOME is set to the location of your JDK
