      Sorry, I hadn't seen the replies yet.

       

      Using portable versions, in Windows (10):

       

      1. Use a JDK 9, not less, not more:
      set JAVA_HOME=C:\Projects\project\bin\jdk-9.0.4_windows-x64_bin
      call C:\Projects\project\bin\SoapUI-5.6.0-windows-bin\bin\soapui.bat

      2. Edit soapui.bat to load all the libraries from Hermes and ALL-SYSTEM for JDK 9:

      ...

      set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;%JFXRTPATH%
      set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:\Projects\project\bin\hermes-installer-1.14\lib\*

      ...

      set JAVA_OPTS=... -splash:SoapUI-Spashscreen.png --add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM

       

      3. "Invalidate/disable/remove" the hermes.jar (there is a known bug with it) from SoapUI. For example, by renaming the extension:

      C:\Projects\project\bin\SoapUI-5.6.0-windows-bin\lib\hermes-1.14.jar__

       

      4. And "invalidate/disable/remove" the xerces.jars (avoid the "Xerces Hell" with the ALL-SYSTEM from JDK 9) from Hermes. For example:

      C:\Projects\project\bin\hermes-installer-1.14\lib\xerces.jar__

      C:\Projects\project\bin\hermes-installer-1.14\lib\xercesImpl.jar__

       

      Heavily tested with HornetQ (standalone/embedded in JBoss, jnp/remote, and Tibco) and OK.

       

      Tell me about any problems, and thanks!!
