Junit before class ( non static )

A simple if statement seems to work pretty well too:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:test-context.xml"})
public class myTest {

    public static boolean dbInit = false;

    @Autowired
    DbUtils dbUtils;

    @Before
    public void setUp(){

        if(!dbInit){

            dbUtils.dropTables();
            dbUtils.createTables();
            dbInit = true;

        }
    }
