SoapUI 5.6.0 Failed to parse plugin descriptor

Hi,

 

I'm try to run my Soapui test on an Azure dev ops CD / CI stack but i run into this error and cant find any solutions. It is similar like this topic https://community.smartbear.com/t5/ReadyAPI-Questions/ready-api-soapui-pro-Maven-Plugin/m-p/100040 although i don't use ReadyApi but SoapUI.

 

The full error stack trace is as follows:

[ERROR] Failed to parse plugin descriptor for com.smartbear.soapui:soapui:5.6.0 (/home/vsts/.m2/repository/com/smartbear/soapui/soapui/5.6.0/soapui-5.6.0.jar): No plugin descriptor found at META-INF/maven/plugin.xml -> [Help 1]

I downgraded to the Soapui maven plug-in 5.5.0 but this gave the same error?
 
Do you have any ideas how to solve this? Looks to me like the META-INF/maven/plugin.xml isn't in the right place in the JAR file?
 
Thanks!
