I think this is *almost* right, and should work like a champ, though
I haven't ever tried it either.
What you'll need to do is have a project that looks like this:
my-assembly-descriptor
|
+- pom.xml
|
+- src
|
+- main
|
+- resources
|
+- assemblies
|
+- my-assembly.xml
The pom will look just like any other normal 'jar' packaging pom. The
my-assembly.xml file will be a normal assembly descriptor.
Now, to use it, you'll need to add this new artifact as a plugin-
level dependency in your main prjoect's pom.xml, like this:
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
[...]
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.myproject.assemblies</groupId>
<artifactId>my-assembly-descriptor</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
[...]
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
I think you've got a good idea, Tim, and I think these minor tweaks
will make it work.
Good luck, Adam.

I.
Create a new project, put the assembly descriptors you want to have
available across projects in 'src/resources/assemblies' and install/
deploy the artifact to your local/internal repository.
II.
In your projects configure the plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<!-- artifact containing the descriptors -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>name-of-your-descriptor</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Hey all, question about the assembly plugin.
Is there a way to specify one assembly.xml descriptor within a POM
that is global to all projects and to have it inherit down to all
sub-projects? Right now when I run the execution phase the assembly
is tied to from a sub-project of a parent project (that is in turn a
child to the global POM) I get an error saying it can not locate the
descriptor. I would like to only have one descriptor for all
projects
and have it in the master parent POM. That way I can specify a
global
execution phase so all sources get added into each project every time
they are built but, I only want ZIP files, not TAR and tarball as in
the default.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
