    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,

       

      rich

        richie thanks for the answer

         

        I'm running on Ubuntu 20.0.4.1

         

        My java version is:

        openjdk version "1.8.0_272"
        OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_272-8u272-b10-0ubuntu1~20.04-b10)
        OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.272-b10, mixed mode)

         

        I downloaded the SoapUI-x64-5.6.0.sh file from https://www.soapui.org/downloads/thank-you-for-downloading-soapui/ 

        Then i assigned execution permisses and ran it

        The installation finished without problems but when i wanted to open it the java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError shows up

         

        I still don't able to find the jre folder.

         

        Thanks for your time!
