Yes this works for dependencies to outside the reactor, but for things within the reactor, the optionalDependencies compiler parameter determines how optional dependencies are treated. This is because the test runtime is created from the dependency-only metadata, and not from the final metadata. We should be able to change this once we have the full target platform object in place (bug 364134 [1]), if we want to.

I am not sure I follow. For the in-reactor case, are you saying
dependency-only metadata has OSGi optional dependencies encoded as
greedy p2 requirements?
