Description

I have defined a shared descriptor using a separate module as described in the documentation.
This shared descriptor is used by maven assembly-plugin via <descriptorRef/> which it self contains a componentDescriptor.

This unfortunately fails during the running the build with the message:

00:00:38.206 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.5:single (anton-1) on project p1: Error reading assemblies: Failed to locate component descriptor: assemblies/subfolder-component -> [Help 1]
00:00:38.207 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.5:single (anton-2) on project p2: Error reading assemblies: Failed to locate component descriptor: assemblies/subfolder-component -> [Help 1]
00:00:38.207 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.5:single (anton-3) on project p3: Error reading assemblies: Failed to locate component descriptor: assemblies/subfolder-component -> [Help 1]

This looks like the resolution of the component descriptor via classpath does not work correctly. I have also tested to use the component descriptor with the "assemblies/" prefix.
