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.
