Hi,
I assume you probably downloaded binary distribution of SoapUI which has no bundled jre and you have no JAVA_HOME set? Then error you are getting is expected. Although it's not clear to me from your post did you succeed to start soapUI 3.0.1 at all, and how did 2.5.1 work with no java? Was 2.5.1 version perhaps also binary standalone distribution?
If this is the case please try downloading installer option or standalone binary option which has jre bundled.(Unfortunately we switched links by mistake, so link that says jre bundled actually has no jre bundled and vice versa . The link you should try is actually the one that says "soapUI Pro 3.0.1 Binary zip for Windows (No JRE)", sorry for the inconvenience).
Please let us know how did it go.
Regards,
