[BEAM-7976] Documentation for word count example is unclear about inputFile vs pom.xml

• Type: Bug

Description

Currently the documentation for the word count example mentions the input file and give the following example:

```Java
$ mvn compile exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.beam.examples.WordCount \
Dexec.args="-inputFile=pom.xml --output=counts" -Pdirect-runner
``
. As far as I believe the pom.xml is not supposed to be the input file in this case. I will create a PR if someone could confirm that my assumption is correct
