Hi,
it is possible to configure the directory where soapui looks for external jars.
It is defined by the "soapui.ext.libraries" system property, you can modify it in the soapui startup script and also in the command line tools scripts.
Jars must be stored directly at the root of this directory which means that this won't work with the maven repository layout.
I also don't think this is a good idea to have all jars taken from your maven repository added to the soapui repository. This could lead classpath conflicts without letting you know where the issue come from.
You could maybe try the following.
The idea is to be able to put in a given directory all jars that your custom code depends on. As your custom projects are built with maven, let's maven do it.
Create a maven project and make it depends on all the projects you want to be added to soapui.
Use the maven depency plugin to copy these dependencies to a given directory.
Configure soapui to use the directory as ext folder.
What do you think about this?
