Copying a more recent JRE (Java 11) into the jre subfolder (as suggested here) fixed it.

    I confirm that this solved the issue also for me (SO: Ubuntu 20.04). I used AdoptOpenJDK11 and it worked.

        hi jmordonez 

         

        I have a jre as a child of my parent SoapUI folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\Smartbear\SoapUI-5.6.0\jre) but I'm running windows.

         

        What operating system are you running?

         

         

        rather than mess about with directories you could just install java properly instead?  that would save all the hassle....

         

        ta,
