SoapUI hangs on startup

Hi all,

I've downloaded and installed SoapUI-5.0.0 on a Linux box.

$ uname -a
Linux myhost 3.2.0-63-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 23:05:57 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


When I start up SoapUI as shown below, I get the splash screen which disappears and then nothing happens...

$ ./bin/soapui.sh 
================================
=
= SOAPUI_HOME = /home/cmtemp/SmartBear/SoapUI-5.0.0
=
================================
Configuring log4j from [/home/cmtemp/SmartBear/SoapUI-5.0.0/bin/soapui-log4j.xml]
07:05:42,058 INFO  [DefaultSoapUICore] initialized soapui-settings from [/home/cmtemp/soapui-settings.xml]
07:05:42,981 INFO  [SoapUI] Used java version: 1.7.0_40



Any idea what I can do to troubleshoot?

    BTW, I downloaded and installed version 4.6.4 and it works just fine.

    Hello, I have exact the same problem: SoapUi 4.6.4 works fine, SoapUI 5.0.0 hangs on startup.
    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,

    Hello!
    Finally, I found the problem: there is something wrong with the jre files inside the soapui package.
    Inside soapui.sh change "JAVA=$SOAPUI_HOME/jre/bin/java" to "JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java" and SoapUI 5.0.0 starts fine.

    Cheers,
