SoapUI 4.0.1 Clean Install: Mac OSX 'beachball of death'

Hi,

I came across SoapUI and wanted to test it out.
I was, however, sorely disappointed by my experience after installation on a Mac OS X system.

I downloaded the .dmg, and ran the installer - all good, then started the application.
It seemed to load well, but I noticed that the browser window was missing a frame (window bar) - then the beachball of death started and did not stop.

The only way to kill the app was a force quit.
Subsequent attempts lead to identical behaviour, but do not even get to load the browser window - an image of what i see is attached.


My system is as follows:

Mac OS X - Snow Lepoard 10.6.8
Java Version:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)


I have a Windows VM, I downloaded and installed the windows version, which works perfectly on the VM.

BUT I do not want to have to use a VM to run software that supposedly supports MacOS ?
Any assistance would be most welcome !!


Thanks
