Hi Andrew
Sorry for the long delay with our answer, the v3 release and other things have kept us distracted...
We would be interested in such a collaboration. The ScatteredWar support you mentioned below has been discontinued for the v3 final release and we do have a more generic API.
I have asked Siraj to have the new APIs available at
https://embedded-glassfish.dev.java.net/nonav/gf-embedded-api/apidocs/
Once he confirms, you should have a look where we stand and we can start talking about how we can have a single approach.

I believe ShrinkWrap's scope is more generic than what I've seen so far in ScatteredWar for example, and perhaps the community could benefit from a unified declarative archive API shared across vendors/communities. Our license is ASL v2 to encourage this effort.
