soapUI IntelliJ-Plugin

The soapUI IntelliJ-Plugin provides all soapui-functionality directly from within IntelliJ IDEA allowing one integrated development and testing environment for Web Services in java. Existing soapUI desktop components are made available through two ToolWindows:

  • A "soapUI Navigator" ToolWindow at the left contains the Workspace Navigator and Details Tab
  • A "soapUI Log" ToolWindow at the bottom contains the same Log Tabs as in soapUI

All soapUI Desktop Panels are made available as editor tabs in IDEA and will be opened/closed as usual. Here are some screenshots:

Currently, the plugin can be seen as a "level-1" integration, ie it is "merely" a packaging of soapUI components in the Intellij environment.

Installation

The plugin is downloadable from sourceforge and through IntelliJs plugin-manager. After installing, you should increase IntelliJs PermGen space as the plugin requires a fair amount of memory; do this by altering the idea.exe.vmoptions file in the idea bin directory to for example:

-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-ea

Getting Started

The existing Getting Started applies also to the IntelliJ Plugin, as does the User Guide. The only real difference is that the standalone soapUI Desktop has been replaced by the IntelliJ tabbed interface for editors.
