SOAPUI won't start, Error Log says "Constraint unknown: jdk.disabled.namedCurves"

Trying to start SoapUI 5.6.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 with Java 11 I see only the splash screen.   This version used to run on this computer; I belive some Ubuntu update caused the problem but I have no ide...

    Hey hok

    Im running soapui-5.6.0 with openjdk 11 on debian so i cant attempt to reproduce, but i did have a look around for your error response.

    Obviously whatever ubuntu update occurred has kakked your soapui. Could you speak to system admin about what recent updates occurred and rollback?

    I did find something on stackoverflow that suggested looking at the different versions of java on your system cos perhaps this could cause the issue to manifest. I dont really think this will help, but if you cant rollback your update its at least giving a quick look at the different java installed via different apps, intellij, soapui, etc., etc. and see if there could be a clash caused by the recent ubuntu update?

    Other than that im limited to suggesting trying to reinstall soapui and your java.

    Thats all i got im afraid!

    Nice one

Hi richie , thanks for your reply.

It was indeed related to an Ubuntu upgrade: the JRE.

I had used java 11.8 to run SOAPUI, because the bundled JRE 8 didn't work and wasn't replaced during upgrade. So I had copied 11.8 to SOAPUI's jre folder. See my other post .

Meanwhile jre 11.8 was replaced by 11.9 in Ubuntu, which added a new property jdk.disabled.namedCurves .

The property was apparently configured somewhere on my PC, but the old jre in SOAPUI was unable to understand it.

So again I copied the jre (11.9) to SOAPUI, now it works.
