Wouter Hermeling commented on MASSEMBLY-73:
-------------------------------------------

I'm confused. Why not choose for uploading the assembly descriptor in a repository like it is done for the site.xml of the site plugin???

With this solution:
* If i want to use the solution above, i have to change the packaging of my parent project to: assembly-descriptor
* i cannot to reuse an assembly descriptor in another project (with a different parent pom hierarchy

NOTE: Since i require this functionality, i might implement a site-plugin like solution and post the patch here.

> I have a multi-project folders setup like one shown below,

>     root 
>         |_ sub-folder1 
>         |_ sub-folder2 
>         |_ sub-folder3 
>         |_ etc   
>   
> Have a root pom.xml at the root folder level and in that I have defined 
> <plugin> 
>     <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> 
>         <configuration> 
>             <descriptors> 
>                 <descriptor>src/main/assembly/descriptor.xml 
>                 </descriptor> 
>             </descriptors>       
>         </configuration> 
> </plugin>

> Above descriptor works fine only if I have defined a descriptor file on the src/main/assembly folder for each sub-folder1, sub-folder2, etc. 
> It would be great if maven supports me in defining a common assembly descriptor and can be shared by all the sub modules from a common location.
