I would like to know what is the purpose of SOAP UI for IDE and how different is it using from SOAP regural free version tool ?

That is just one IDE where an user can do his most of his work without swithcing the tool , IMO.
By the way, it appears that it is quite some time back the software did not have updates for IDE.
