cd /Applications/SoapUI-5.3.0.app/Contents 

In the java/app/bin/soapui.sh uncomment line 66 file:

 65 # uncomment to disable browser component 66 JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true" 

In the vmoptions.txt file vmoptions.txt add the following line:

 -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true 

Note This will disable the on-demand test.

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can go to SoapUI*.app , right-click and select "Show package information" (from the pop-up menu). Then you should see the Contents directory; open Info.plist and add the following lines:

 <key>soapui.jxbrowser.disable</key> <true/>
