Swapnil Kulkarni 2b34c69fe2 Update the yum install maven in README
Maven does not install on "yum install maven3" on Fedora20.
Searching for Maven3 package does not give any results.
The correct way to install Maven3 on Fedora is to
run "yum install maven" instead.
This installs Maven3 and its dependencies.

I think we need to update the documentation with that.

OpenStack Manuals
+++++++++++++++++
This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.
For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation wiki page
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation>`_.
It includes these manuals:
* Admin User Guide
* Architecture Design Guide
* Cloud Administrator Guide
* Command-Line Interface Reference
* Configuration Reference
* End User Guide
* High Availability Guide
* Installation Guides
* Virtual Machine Image Guide
In addition to the guides, this repository contains:
* docs.openstack.org: ``www``
Prerequisites
=============
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
documentation.
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later::
apt-get install maven
On Fedora 20 and later::
yum install maven
Building
========
The different manuals are in subdirectories of the
``openstack-manuals/doc/`` directory.
For example, the root directory of the *OpenStack User Guide*
is ``openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide``.
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
cd openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is::
openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/content/index.html
Testing of changes and building of the manual
=============================================
Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
gating jobs.
If you like to run individual tests, run:
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these
tests.
