Regression: This issue exists for version 2.2 of the plugin used with Maven 3.0!

I have to configure my poms to use 2.2-beta-5 of the assembly plugin to be able to use a shared pom. It looks like 2.2 doesn't even try to search the classpath. Here is my env:

Apache Maven 3.0 (r1004208; 2010-10-04 07:50:56-0400)
Java version: 1.6.0_20
Java home: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: MacRoman
OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.6.4" arch: "x86_64" Family: "mac"

Please re-open this issue.

May I also suggest a unit/integration/regression test be added?

As of the 2.2 version of the plugin, the 'descriptors' element is interpreted strictly as a file path. To call your shared assemblies, use 'descriptorRefs" rather than 'descriptors' and drop the '.xml' file extension – just like you would call built-in descriptors like 'jar-with-dependencies' or 'bin'.

This appears to be an intentional change (and cleans up the code a bit, IMHO). If you're curious, look at the diff between the 2.2-beta-5 and 2.2 tags for the class o.a.m.p.assembly.io.DefaultAssemblyReader.

(Now they just need to fix the documentation on the sharing-descriptors.html page.)
