    Hi folks. Same problem occurs for me ... and it is not only for com/eviware/soapui/SoapUI, but for tools such as com/eviware/soapui/tools/JfxrtLocator, as well. System is Windows 10 with already installed jdk1.8 SopaUI 5.6 has been installed from SoapUI-5.6.0-windows-bin.zip. May it be that SoapUI 5.6 has a problem with Java 8 and does not run on jdk1.8 anymore? Best reagrds.

        Hello,

        I have just made the BIG mistake of accepting to install the upgrade on Soap UI.
        My previous version was Soap UI 5.5.0 and I had Java 8.181 installed and everything was fine...

        Then, I still don't understand why, when I lauched my Soap UI, I've accepted to take the update...
        Then I got the exaclty same error message (printed herewith by the way) after the installation.
        Despite that Java is not anymore around version 52 or 53, but more like 7 or 8, I have understood that I needed to update also my Java Runtime.
        What I have done by installing the latest Java version --> 8.261
        Then, I still got the same error message...
        After, I was thinking that I may be need to restart my PC, what I've done full of hope (I must even say, last hope)...
        And guess what ?
        Still the same error message when I lauch Soap UI !

        That is why I'm here, can you please help me ?
        It is really urgent I must say.
