[cle-release-team] 2.9 install guide totally incorrect

[Neal Caidin]

Specific things that need validation on https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=81756286

* Section 2.1 - Additional required settings under  Set Java_Opts reference Tomcat 5.5
* Section 4.3 Create a Maven settings.xml file .  I thought this had been reviewed but seeing a reference to tomcat5x

Any volunteers?

Cheers

You don't need a maven settings file, nor to help people configure tomcat with the sub standard index.html file in the ROOT webapp, or to show them how to install Tomcat as a service, or even the various flags for Maven. That's all just junk that gets in the way and makes us look like amateurs. If people want that stuff they can look up the up to date info elsewhere.
