Why this error with test runner ?

Hi,

This error, whilst a bit irritating, shouldn't be serious and happens every time SoapUI starts up and attempts to load the packaged plugins (think from version 5.2 onwards?). You'll see a lot of posts relating to it, this one for example explains how to get rid of the error at the expense of plugins that cause them:

Ideally, the SoapUI code should be improved to handle the error better - please vote for this feature request if you get a chance:

For the SLF4J warning, please see:

This is fixable by adding a suitable logging library.

Thanks,
