By jyates:

why have the config dependency at all? You can just get the conf from the test util when it is created. Also, you can make it final and then initialize it in a static block like:
private static final String s;
static{
s = "hello";
}

The static constructors get run in order of declaration (top -> bottom), when the class is loaded, fyi.
