A service provider provides a service implementation, however, the provided service interface is not tagged with @Contract (a jdk interface for instance), therefore, it is specified through this annotation. Example :

 import java.util.logging.Handler

 @Service(name="console")
 @ContractProvided(Handler.class)
 public class MyConsoleHandler implements Handler {
      // implementation of Handler interface
 }
