SoapUI Freezes on OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.0)

I recently upgraded my machine to Mountain Lion and now SoapUI freezes at startup. It displays the main window but then within a few seconds it goes solid gray and the beach ball starts spinning. It sounds like the same problem as in this post:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=14733&p=35427&hilit=mountain+lion#p35427

but I'm not able to even get into the general preferences to modify the browser setting because the application freezes too quickly. It there some option I can put in my configuration file to try to disable the browser?

Note that this same install was working fine on this machine using Lion (10.7). Here is stdout when running from the terminal:

    Following the original SoapUI Pro thread indicated that disabling the integrated browser solves the problem. I couldn't get SoapUI to stay open long enough to do this through the Settings dialog so I edited the soapui-settings.xml directly. Adding this setting solved the problem:

    <con:setting id="UISettings@disable-browser">true</con:setting>


    It looks like the integrated browser causes the application to lockup on Mountain Lion.

    Worked for me as well

    the soapui-settings.xml was on my home directory and the UISettings@disable-browser setting was pre-existing, just had to turn false to true

    Hi everyone,
    The soapui-settings.xml never got created for me. So after sniffing around the internet looking for the right format... this is what solved it for me.

    Steps:
    On the Mac, make sure that you create the soapui-settings.xml in your home directory (like /Users/<username>/).
    Then create the file with the following content:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <con:soapui-settings xmlns:con="http://eviware.com/soapui/config">
    <con:setting id="UISettings@disable-browser">true</con:setting>
    </con:soapui-settings>

    Save the file, and then restart SoapUI 4.5.1 in mountain lion and you should not see the spinning wheel anymore!

    Cheers,
    -Dennis

    Solved for me as well. As old as this issue is I was surprised at how difficult it was to find info. I tried several other methods to resolve hanging at start up like adding the jvm option but none of them worked.

    I had to create my soapui-settings.xml file as dennisjbr describes above, after that no hang, no beachball, seems to be running fine. If someone could post an entire settings.xml file here I would love to see what else is supposed to be in there.

    I wonder if there is a bug in the install? During installation I opted to install loadUI and at some point there was an access denied issue. I just pushed on but was left without the settings.xml file.

    Thanks for the help!

    SoapUI 5.0 was extremely slow on my Mac OSx Mavericks - it literally took several minutes after starting the application before I could do anything in the UI. There was a blank (grey) window open in the large area in the ui to the right.

    After adding the <con:setting id="UISettings@disable-browser">true</con:setting> to ~/soapui-settings.xml and restarting SoapUI 5.0 it now starts up quickly and is responsive in the UI immediately. A much much better user experience. Thank you :-)

    I know several people in my company who have uninstalled SoapUI from their macs due to it not being responsive after starting up, this simple setting fixes their problems too.
