How can a maven plugin provide a file to another?

We have a maven plugin that's basically a wrapper around the maven-assembly-plugin. We do things like:

    executeMojo(
            assemblyPlugin,
            goal("single"),
            configuration(
                    element(name("descriptor"), descriptor),
                    element(name("formats"), element(name("format"), "tar.gz")),
            ),
            executionEnvironment(mavenProject, mavenSession, pluginManager)
    )

(Yes, it's groovy.)

The location of the descriptor is still passed as a parameter from the project that includes this plugin. However, we'd like to provide at least a default file and pass that reference to the maven-assembly-plugin.

If we package a descriptor file with our plugin, where does it end up? What kind of path can we give to the assembly plugin?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the concept of shared descriptors which is supported by the maven-assembly-plugin.
