Context

Current text on how to update/patch Maven repository tells user to decompress delivered ZIP into existing Maven repository.

With effort defined by EAP7-1868 epic, Maven repository we deliver will include a metadata for an artifact.

This file will be overwritten by such update and this action might bring repository into unpredictable state.

Proposed solution

Update should happen in the same manner as the configuration in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_jboss_enterprise_application_platform/7.4/html/development_guide/using_maven_with_eap#configure_the_jboss_eap_maven_repository
