How to have a single setUp tearDown for a whole group of JUnit tests?

I want to setup my testing database with test data before I start my tests. I suppose I should run that once at the start of the unit tests instead of before each test class for function? How might I do that?

For what it's worth, TestNG supports this with @BeforeSuite and @AfterSuite (and many more configuration annotations).

The accepted solution to How to load DBUnit test data once per case with Spring Test will do this. It works across an arbitrary set of test cases.

You can achieve that with @SuiteClasses annotation: 

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@SuiteClasses({UserDaoTests.class, OrderDaoTests.class})
public class TestSuiteSetup {
    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpDatabase() {
        // ...
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownDatabase() {
        // ...
    }
}

Tests from UserDaoTests and OrderDaoTests will be run between setUpDatabase and tearDownDatabase methods.
