It's doable and somthing I've been thinking about myself.

Hi @cbrani , in version 0.3 you can specify a DbUnit annotation on each feature. Please see the readme for more information. Please take a look at it and let me know if that's what you had in mind.

Hi @janbols ,
Great, yes that's what I had in mind 👍

I came up with some further notes nevertheless ;-)

If the schema attribute would be a Closure it would be more flexible. In our test environment we have user specific settings and one of them is the used DB schema. With a closure you could reference the config variable and extract the schema.

Not all of the features in our specification classes need a dbunit setup. The current workaround is that I setup the field annotation with an empty content and annotate the features which definitely need a dbunit setup with an extra @dbunit. I don't know yet if that is a performance penalty but it works. Do you think it would be an idea to have a sort of a skip annotation for a feature? Or another option would be to omit the field annotation and only use the feature annotation in that case (which doesn't work right now. I tried ;-) )
