I am using maven as my build tool.
This can be done by using maven's resource filtering. Three steps are required:
For example lets assume you want to use the same version as the projects maven version identifier, ${project.version}, as your version in the metainfo.xml file. You would replace <version>0.1</version> with <version>${project.version}</version>. Then in your pom file you would need to list that metainfo.xml file as needing to be filtered. The procedure for this step will vary depending on how you are bundling the custom Ambari service (rpm, assembly, etc.). In general whichever plugin you are using when you list the sources (content to include in the bundle) you will need to specify the path to the metainfo.xml file and make sure filtering is set to true.
Now lets assume you want to create an rpm that will install your artifact. It would look something like this:
Your project structure should be as follows:
--src
--main
--resources
--configuration
--scripts
metainfo.xml
Your pom file would look like this:

This will create an rpm that when installed will add your service to the HDP 2.3 stack. After installing the rpm you would have to restart ambari-server to make sure the new service definition is picked up.
Update: To create additional RPMs for other stacks, you will need to:
