    5.4.0 is quite old version. Here is some release history article: https://www.soapui.org/downloads/latest-release/release-history/

    It says for 5.4.0 following: ”SoapUI now uses Java 1.8.”. SoapUI 5.6.0 has following mention: ”Support for openJDK 12”

     

    So the switch from Oracle Java 8 implementation to OpenJDK happened in 5.6.0 version on 2020. 

     

    I think Oracle renewed its licensing politics after JDK 11 which lead many organizations to move to OpenJDK implementations.
