SOAPUI 5.5.0 and OpenJDK

I had to switch to OpenJDK. Unfortunately SOAPUI will start with the browser component disabled and so with slimmed features. Console says: WARN  com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI - Could not find jfxrt....

SoapUI still ships with its bundled JRE (for free).

There is the option to use your own JRE:

  • If it works, great.
  • If not, well, it's an unsupported configuration...

It might help to share your specific reasons for wanting to use a JRE other than the supplied one. That could be useful to the team in deciding to bundle (and therefore build for) a different version.

    JHunt Thanks for your answer!

    Is JRE is also shipped with SoapUI Open Source or only with SoapUI Pro?

    First, I downloaded SOAPUI as a Windows Zip (64-bit Java not included), but know I took a look at the 32-bit ZIP. But where do I find the bundled JRE? I think, starting soapui.bat, it is using my system installation of Oracle Java (which will be deinstalled soon).

      It's included in Open Source. You want the Windows Installer (64 bit).

       

      You don't need to do anything to switch to the bundled JRE. It's used as the preferred one when your installation has it.

        Thanks again, JHunt !

         

        Due to the lack of admin rights, I unfortunately cannot install SOAPUI. That's why I stick to the ZIP package.

        Who can I ask to put Java to the ZIP? Or isn't this possible (because of licensing)?
