EVERY TIME I start up SoapUI lately, I get this error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.r...

    thank you for replying to this queston and sorry for the late reply

    after installing soapui 5.1.3 this error still happened, but i detected a pattern, and find out the error always started after the diary avg virus scanning.

    avg reports soapui.exe as infected so i think that it was ignoring the exception rule that i defined as i installed soapui.

     

    resuming, after some weeks of stress, thinking how in the world i would survive without soapui, the problem origin was the anti-virus software, one of the first things that i checked when the issue started, and after configuring another exception rule, this time for the base SmartBear directory, the problem is resolved and i'm again a happy soapui user.

Anything useful in the logs other than the one showin in the first message in this topic? Did you use installer or zip file to install? May give a try removing previously created project and see the behaviour is same?

honestly a don't see anything very usefull in the logs.

this is all very strange. i have installed 5.1.2 and guess what? have to install 2 times on Monday, one yeasterday and right now the application is freezed again...

 

the jars in the application classpath are gone and there is no record of what happened.

i think it may be something caused by an antivirus (or even a virus) but i have no clue about the real cause.

the fact is that i will not be able to start soapui again unless i make another installation...

    Hmm..Quite strange. Have you tried installing in other drive than 'C:'? Just it may be really a matter. Just to isolate if any policies that you might have or user has restrictions installing or modifying under C:\Program Files etc

        Well done solving your issue and more importantly also sharing that information regarding potential issues with virus checkers, could help others - have some kudos! :-)
