Building, packaging, and running SoapUI from the source code

Depending on your background, the idea of building SoapUI from source code might sound a bit hard-core and possibly unnecessary, but the truth is that it's actually relatively straightforward and can be very useful! It also gives you access to the latest fixes and features that may take time to be officially released. We'll also see how to package SoapUI so that you can run it in its more familiar form, that is, as a normal installation!

Getting ready

The source code itself is available from GitHub and can be found at https://github.com/SmartBear/soapui/.
