TestSuite Setup in jUnit 4

I've managed to find out how to make a TestSuite in jUnit 4, but I really miss the v3 possibility of wrapping a suite in a TestSetup.

Any ideas as to how to get some @BeforeClass/@AfterClass setup executed for a suite of test cases in jUnit 4?

I.e.

@RunWith(Suite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({Test1.class, Test2.class})
public class MyTestSuite {
    @BeforeClass public static void setUpClass() {
        // Common initialization done once for Test1 + Test2
    }
    @AfterClass public static void tearDownClass() {
        // Common cleanup for all tests
    }
}

Unfortunately the above code fragment doesn't work. @BeforeClass only works on a per-test-class basis.
