Title: Configure Maven to use the JBoss EAP Maven Repository

Describe the issue:
I am following the Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio-8.1-Start_Developing-en-US.pdf tutorial. 
I have followed the previous Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio-8.1-Install_Red_Hat_JBoss_Developer_Studio-en-US.pdf instructions to install the studio using the jboss-devstudio-8.1.0.GA-installer-eap.jar installer - which is supposed to install mavern too.
I have reached 
2.2. Configure Maven to use the JBoss EAP Maven Repository
 
The issue I am having in Windows 8.1 and in Fedora 21, is where is Mavern?. I can't find the directories that are supposed to be there. I can't find Mavern. 
In windows I have searched for .m2 directories and in Fedora I have gone back and forth as both the administrator and root looking for this hidden directory. 
A search for setting.xml provides no results
The tutorial says :
"5. Navigate to path/to /jboss-eap-6 . x. y-maven-repository and click OK. JBoss Maven Tools recursively scans the path searching for the Maven repository."

I don't actually know if mavern is installed or not, nor what to do to fix the situation.



Suggestions for improvement:
1) Provide information on how to check for Mavern and where it is located
2) An actual example of the repository directory might be useful. I am assuming using the conventions etc the path should be something like
 C:\Users\smith\jbdevstudio\runtimes\jboss-eap-6.3.0-mavern-repository
BUT it doesn't exist, it wasn't created on the install. The closest I can find is
C:\Users\smith\jbdevstudio\runtimes\jboss-eap which doesn't have anything that looks like a repository

3)The tutorial needs to provide a link where we can resolve the issue, or alternatively explain what has happened.
