[TechCorner] Avoiding the "JVM could not be started" error on start

Hello Community,

 

Some of you asked the Customer Care Team of how to resolve the following error on start of SoapUI:


The #JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution

 

I want to share the solution with you. As the first step, make sure that your antivirus or firewall isn't blocking the execution of SoapUI Pro. This helps 80% of users.


If you still see the same error, please find additional steps you need to perform in the following KB article I've prepared:
