contradicts with our hide internal impl requirement. Not to mention if we are testing a
client server protocol we actually do want the classes to be in separate loaders.
I don't think all our requirements apply for all embedded use cases. That said I
don't think that the flat-classpath embedded arrangement is suitable for testing our
own stuff in most cases, but I think some users will want to do it that way. I agree that
long-term we should focus on encouraging users to run in a modularized environment.
For our tests I am going with 1 (or really 3), the custom test runner makes it a lot nicer
and easier than what I had before.
Once this has taken a bit more shape, I would like to extract the embedded startup into an
embedded/ module with options for starting embedded AS in both flat and modular modes so
that it can be consumed directly, at the moment this is hidden away in the testsuite.
