This isn't a Maven thing, but we usually name all our component configuration files the same name in the respective jars. Spring has a means to find all the files of the same name in the different jars (you can go check it out there, they use the "classpath*:" nomenclature for it). That way, our component loader just asks for "classpath*:/lib/component.xml" or some such and gets back all the configs for components, regardless of how many there are, avoiding gaps in naming created over time by deprecated components and component names.
The part that *is* a Maven thing with this process is you don't need any complicated assembly config to get the component names worked out in a certain way.
