In < 1.1.5.Final JUnit's @Before and @After was called by Arquillian as part of Arquillian's Before and After phases. This changed by accident during the JUnit Rule support rewrite and @Before is now called after Arquillian's Before and @After phase is now called Before Arquillian's After.

This break down APIs like Deployer/ContainerController as non of the Suite/Class/Test Contexts are active at that point.
