We have implemented this concept in RichFaces 5, but we need to install just one instance of the container (BeforeSuite/AfterSuite), you will need to solve a problem of multiple instances:

https://github.com/richfaces/richfaces5/blob/master/build/build-resources/src/main/java/org/richfaces/arquillian/container/installation/ContainerInitializationObserver.java

We resolve the server as a Maven artifact using ShrinkWrap descriptor - which gives us caching of browser binary for free in local M2 repo.

We also use prepared ZIP overlays with configuration [1] or you can use kind of ShrinkWrap Descriptors type of API in order to configure the container as needed in ConfigureContainer phase.

> In my project (AS config migration), I need to keep the results of every config I run with (one per test).
> This could be handled in Maven or Ant by creating copies in advance.
> But much more ellegant would be to use [multiple containers|https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ARQ/Multiple+Containers] and to let Arq copy some source dir and run AS from there.
> For this purpose, I propose to add a config property {{jbossAsDist}} and copy it to {{jbossHome}} before launching it.
