Load tests with SoapUITestCaseRunner/SoapUIProTestCaseRunner

Hi,

Have anyone had any luck with running load tests within the JUnit soloution that can be found here:
http://www.soapui.org/Test-Automation/i ... junit.html

public void testRunner() throws Exception
{
SoapUITestCaseRunner runner = new SoapUITestCaseRunner();
runner.setProjectFile( "src/dist/sample-soapui-project.xml" );
runner.run();
}

Since we are building a build pipeline we want the most processes to be automated as much as possible.
I would like to trigger the load tests from the Junit runner as and not only the functional tests.
However it seems like those tests are never executed.
I can run them via the command line interface but I would rather see it within the Java/Junit solution.

Any suggestions?

Regards
Fredrik
