You can have multiple @before methods and exeute them in a specific
order by setting their priority.

The background is localizeed to the current feature file. Try having
two different feature files and you will notice that the background is
only executed for the scenarios in the feature file where it is
defined.

You can specify the order as a parameter to the annotation.

@Before( order = 10 )

@After( order = 20)

Before hooks are executed in ascending order (lowest first).
After hooks executed in descending order (hightest first).

The default value for order is 10000 for both @Before and @After

Please, don't hijack a thread. Start a new thread instead.

I am not aware of any way to skip backgrounds for a specific scenario.

If I had that need, I would probably re-arrange my scenarios a bit.

Those scenarios that depend on a specific set of backgrounds would
live with the background. Those that don't want the background
executed would live in another feature file.

Thomas
