I ran into the same problem with SoapUI 5.1.1 on Maven 3.5.3 and JDK 9.0.4 but not on JDK 8u162!

 

I traced the problem back to the Class-Path entry in MANIFEST.MF of  com.smartbear.utils.analytics: out-app-analytics-provider:5.1.0:

 

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Built-By: jenkins
Build-Jdk: 1.7.0_55
Class-Path: ../lib/*.jar ../lib/analytics-core-5.1.0.jar ../lib/log4j-
 1.2.14.jar
Created-By: Apache Maven 3.1.1
Main-Class: TrackOutAppAction
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver

The problem vanished as soon as I excluded com.smartbear.utils.analytics:* from com.smartbear.soapui:soapui.

 

It seems this entry was never really valid and there was a change in JDK 9 which now leads to an exception.

 

PS: The latest version 5.4.0 of out-app-analytics-provider still has the same (invalid) entry.
