is multiple @BeforeClass methods allowed? Is it possible to order the execution of multiple @BeforeClass methods?

[TInaTinaTian L]

@BeforeClass

public static void method1(){}

@BeforeClass

public static void method2(){}

@BeforeClass

public static void method3(){}

Is it possible to order the execution of these @BeforeClass methods? My understanding is that @BeforeClass are used for configurations so it doesn't support this kind of format. 

I have tried with dependsOnMethods = {"method3"} but it seems to ignore this and still execute by alphabetic order of the method names.

Why not just use the simplest method possible:

@BeforeClass
public static void method1() {
  ...
  method2();
  method3();
}

Looks like you have a flaw in your design. This does not seem effective ;) what are you trying to achieve?

if method1... has each a own @BeforeClass why not add the stuff into the test?
