    Hi - I hope that you are Doing good !!

    It's noted that in version 5.4.0 of SoapUI, the documentation states, "SoapUI now uses Java 1.8." However, in version 5.6.0, there's a mention of "Support for OpenJDK 12."

    This indicates that the transition from the Oracle Java 8 implementation to OpenJDK occurred in the 5.6.0 version released in 2020.

    It's worth mentioning that Oracle revised its licensing policies after JDK 11, prompting many organizations to transition to OpenJDK implementations for their Java-based applications

    Hope this helps and happy to assist further !!

    Thank you very much and have a fantastic day!
    Warm regards

Hi sofygrafe 

Start by locating the soapui.bat file, which is typically found in the SOAPUI_HOME/bin directory.

Next, open this file in a text editor to edit its contents. Specifically, you'll need to set the JAVA_HOME variable by adding or modifying the corresponding line to point to your desired Java version.

For instance, you might set it to: set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92. This will ensure SoapUI uses the correct Java version for its operations

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
