Thanks Wendy it was very helpful.
You're right it is working with the extensions tag. But I found another
solution: use the <dependencies> tag inside the plugin:
I think this tips should be in the assembly plugin documentation.
Here is how I did:
<project ...>
<artifactId>myAssemblies</artifactId>
<groupId>com.mycompany.mygroup</groupId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</project>
Your project just need to contain the assambly descriptor file (the
directory "assemblies" is required):
src\main\resources\assemblies\my-distribution.xml
In this project be sure to disable filtering on resources folder
otherwise variables like ${artifactId} will be replaced....
Then in a pom parent (my-pom-parent) you need to declare the assembly
configuration:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>my-distribution</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>my-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>assembly</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.mycompany.mygroup</groupId>
<artifactId>myAssemblies</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
And Then in your project (that inherite from the "my-pom-parent") you
just need to declare the usage of the assembly plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Of course you can overwrite default plugin configuration.
Hope it will help other people.

I saw I can configure a descriptorRefs, but it seems limited to
predefined assembly files (bin, jar-with-dependencies, or src).
I would like to add my own descriptorRef and make it availables to other
projects.
Maybe as a build extension? Try creating another module and putting
your assembly descriptor in a jar. Deploy that to your Maven repo,
then pull it in with <build><extensions><extension>.
I haven't tried it with assembly, but it works for Checkstyle config files.
