Your code snippet contains (leaving out a valid question about a different
open tracker item):

	@Ignore // I thought this annotation was valid here
	@BeforeClass
	/*
	 * I dont want to create a new database schema every time.
	 */
	public static void createDataBase() throws Exception {
		(new SchemaExport(configuration)).create(true, true);
	}

Here, I would be much more comfortable bringing the logic from the
comments into the code:
	@BeforeClass
	public static void createDataBase() throws Exception {
		if (schemaNeedsCreating())
			(new SchemaExport(configuration)).create(true, true);
	}

Then, schemaNeedsCreating could refer to a compile-time constant or
run-time property.

Thus, I'm not convinced to have @Ignore work on @BeforeClass.  Would it
have been helpful to flag that configuration as an error, rather than
ignoring the @Ignore?  Thanks,

   David Saff

Can you provide a use case?  What is the situation in which you would
choose to ignore a setup method, and then reinstate it?  In my experience,
my tests are usually meaningless unless all the setup code runs.  Thanks!
