Update slim distribution documentation to remove Maven references [v/5.5] (#1707)
Backport of #1706 The documentation suggests there's a `slim` variant of `ZIP/TAR Binaries` _and_ `Java` (effectively Maven) distributions. This is _technically_ correct - [the `hazelcast-distribution` Maven artifact offers both `slim` and regular `zip` resources](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/hazelcast/hazelcast-distribution/5.3.6). However, further documentation about Maven exclusively talks about the `hazelcast` artefact that doesn't offer this. Rather than try to explain this nuance, I think it's easier to simply drop references to `slim` + `Java` distributions. I also think that as a concept, downloading a binary distribution (rather than a dependency) is an atypical usecase of Maven, and that following the _existing_ instructions might lead to confusion: - Hazelcast offers a variety of download options, such as `slim` - > [The slim distribution allows you to save memory by excluding Management Center](https://docs.hazelcast.com/hazelcast/latest/getting-started/editions#slim-distribution) - You can download Hazelcast via Maven - Logical next step - if you want to get started with Hazelcast, you try to look for a `slim` `distribution` but really all you want is a dependency We can also simplify explaining how to obtain a `slim` variant - as both the binary download (via website) and Docker (via Dockerhub) show the variants and their names in their respective UI's anyway. Fixes: #995, hazelcast/hazelcast#26507 Co-authored-by: Jack Green <jack.green@hazelcast.com>
