@BeforeClass requires a static method. I'm trying to make a Junit4
replacement for the AbstractDependencyInjecting.... class from Spring,
which is Junit 3, and doesn't support @Ignore on tests. A static method,
of course, can't be overidden. So, I ended up with an @Before that uses
a static boolean to get it done.
