Adding a SerivceProvider to a archive is a bit cumbersome..

            .addManifestResource(
                    "META-INF/services/org.jboss.arquillian.spi.TestRunner",
                     "services/org.jboss.arquillian.spi.TestRunner");

How about adding something like this to the ManifestContainer ?

• a ServiceProviderAsset that can handle the file ie:

            <X> addServiceProvider(Class<X> providerInterface, Class<? extends X>... providerImpls) 
            {
                 addManifestResource(new ServiceProviderAsset(providerImpls), Paths.create("services/" + providerInterface.getName()));
            }
  

• a Auto lookup based on ProviderInterface ie:

           addServiceProvider(Class<?> providerInterface) 
           {
               addManifestResource(new ClassLoaderAsset("META-INF/service/" + providerInterface.getName()), Paths.create("services/" + providerInterface.getName()))
           }
