soapui 4.6 dont use the last java version

Hello,

I am using the soapui 4.6 on MAC OS X 10.8.5, I have java version (jdk) "1.7.0_40" installed, but when I execute soapui I get this message in the soapui log:
Fri Sep 20 13:51:17 CEST 2013:INFO:Used java version: 1.7.0_15

How can I setup the soapui to use the last java version installed (1.7.0_40 in this case)?

thanks in advance for your help.

this is my first post

    Welcome to soapui world!!
    Have you happened to see the java path when soapui using certain version in soapui.log file?

    If you would like to use a different version, have a backup of soapui.sh then look the the references where it is setting JAVA_HOME and update to use which you wanted.

    Also check if you not install soapui with a bundle jre.
    It is in SOAPUI_ROOT/jre.

    If so, remove the folder or modify the sh file to not use it

    Thanks for your help, I could resolve the issue, I will explain how I did it:

    I had the SOAPUI 4.6 installed ( I used the Mac Installer), so I open the package of the SoapUI .app file( the shortcut on Applications), inside there is a "Plugins" folder with the file "jre.bundle", just delete that file, and after that when I start the application it used my java version: 1.7.0_40, I checked on the log file:
    Mon Sep 23 10:09:52 CEST 2013:INFO:Used java version: 1.7.0_40

    thanks again for your help, I hope this could be useful to the community.

    Note: I could be handy an option on SoapUi's preferences to set the JVM to use.

    have a nice day everybody.
