public @interface ServiceProvider
    Declarative registration of a service provider.

    Current features:

    • generates classpath files in META-INF/services folder
    • supports multiple registration of one class
    • can infer the service if the provider implements/extends exactly one interface/class
    • checks coherence between classpath and modulepath if module-info.java is available

    Current limitations:

    • detects modulepath public static provider() method but doesn't generate a workaround for classpath
