    Hi Abhi,

     

    The steps you described for adding a jar file library appear correct - I actually did a basic blog of how to build and add jar file libraries to SoapUI, let me know if it helps:

     

    http://rupertanderson.com/blog/1-how-to-develop-add-and-use-a-custom-groovy-library-in-soapui/

     

    Something that isn't in the blog (which I might well add now) is how to handle when a SoapUI jar library requires external dependencies - in this case, I can see that NoClassDefFoundError for:

     

    org/apache/velocity/app/Velocity

     

    can be obtained from https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.velocity/velocity/1.7

     

    The jar file containing this must also be present on the SoapUI class path. So if it isn't in the SoapUI /lib folder, then you need to add this velocity jar to the /ext folder too - are you sure that this velocity jar is present in either /lib or the /ext folder?

     

    Regards,

    Rupert
