SOAP UI Pro 4.6.4 not launching with Open JDK 11

[kannan]

I installed Open JDK 11 on my mac and updated jre.bundle to point to JDK 11 / Contents/Home and tried to start it . But it failed with below errror. I verified that i have commons-cli-1.4 jar and it is compatabile with JDK 11.

Hi @kannan,

Let me move this topic a bit up in the queue. Maybe someone from the Community will see it and help.

Hi @kannan ,

1. SoapUI 4.6.4 is a very old version, I recommend that you try the latest version of ReadyAPI which is 2.8.2 now: https://support.smartbear.com/downloads/readyapi/

2. Regarding Open JDK, please refer to this article:
