Depends on the case.
Since you are probably setting values or whatever in each test method, I
would not want to reconfigure it each time the object I'm testing or get an
unstable object. the setUp method does this for you otherwise you could
inherit values from a preceding test method and since the order of
introspection depends on the JVM (for instance IBM does the reverse of Sun)
you can obviouslly get interesting results....
