[Resolved] Specifying a different JAVA_HOME/Java version

Hi,

I have modified soapui-pro.bat to specify JAVA_HOME, but this seems to have no effect.

You should set JAVA_HOME to your JRE\JDK directory (outside of the batch file) and then starting soapui-pro.bat should pick up and use the JAVA you set.

You can also download and use the zipped version of SoapUI Pro that does not come with a JRE bundled.

This does not appear to work with the stand-alone version of SoapUI. You may want to treat this as a bug.

On a fresh install of 5.1.0 I see the following:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-Pro-5.1.0\bin>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\dev\Java\jdk1.6.0_38

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-Pro-5.1.0\bin>soapui-pro.bat
...

Thanks, this worked.

I believe that is intended and not a bug, that's is why there is a non bundled JRE version of SoapUI Pro. I checked the batch file of the bundled JRE version and thought maybe setting JAVA_HOME and starting SoapUI Pro with the batch file could be a workaround to using your own JAVA, but apparently not .

Anyway, since your all set with this I will mark this post as "resolved".
