Hi Ryan,

I found the issue. When I run the tests from eclipse, then the clean target is 
not called. So the data dir from the last test run still exists and the method 
setupDatabase() in JAMWikiUnitTest does not get called.

I modified the class to use temporary directories by using the TemporaryFolder 
Rule of JUnit 4.7[1]. Running the jamwiki-core tests takes 14 seconds this 
way. My /tmp folder is mounted on a ramdisk.

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a shiny clean new database for 
each test? This would provide more isolation of tests.

Do you develop on a linux system? Is your temporary folder also mounted on a 
ramdisk.
