Installation

Here comes a walk-through of how to install the soapUI Plugin in NetBeans 6.0;

  • Start by downloading the nbm distribution from SourceForge into a temporary folder.
  • Be sure to remove any existing installation of the soapUI plugin and any associated files. Failure to do so will most likely cause installation / execution problems.
  • Start NetBeans and select the "Tools / Plugins" menu item
  • Switch to the "Downloaded" tab and select the "Add Plugins..." button to browse to the downloaded nbm file
