### Build



* To build a SoapUI project, run `mvn clean install` in the root folder.

* To build an individual submodule, run `mvn clean install` in the root folder of the submodule you want to build.



### Run



To run SoapUI after it has been built, execute `mvn exec:java` in the root folder of the *soapui* submodule.



### Get the latest changes



To get the latest source code changes, clone the project by running `git pull` in the root directory of the SoapUI project or in the root directory of the submodule you want to update.



## Contribute



If you want to take a more active part in improving SoapUI, go to [SoapUI Developer's Corner](http://www.soapui.org/Developers-Corner/contribute-to-soapui.html) for more information.



### IDE support



As SoapUI is using a standard Maven 3 setup, building and running SoapUI from an IDE is usually very straight forward, as long as the IDE has good Maven support.



#### [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/)



**Open project**



1. Clone the project.

2. In the main menu, select **File > Open**.

3. Enter the path to the root folder of the SoapUI project.

4. Run `mvn compile` to generate necessary source files automatically.



**Run SoapUI**



After you have created the IDEA project, navigate to the `com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI` class, right-click and select **Run**.



**Get the latest changes**



Right-click on the root folder in the **Project** panel and select **Git > Repository > Pull**.



**Tip**



To get the code style settings used by the SoapUI team, select **File > Import Settings** and import the `intellij-codestyle.jar` file located in the root folder of the SoapUI project.



#### [Eclipse](https://www.eclipse.org/ide/)



**Open project**



1. Clone the project

2. In the main menu, select **File > Import**.

3. In the **Import** dialog, select **Maven > Existing Maven projects** and click **Next**.

4. In the **Root directory**, enter the path to the root folder of the SoapUI project and click **Finish**.



**Run SoapUI**



After you have created the Eclipse project, navigate to the `com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI` class, right-click it and select **Run as > Java application**.



**Get the latest changes**



1. Right-click on the root folder in the **Package explorer** panel.

2. Select **Team > Pull**.



## Documentation

To generate documentation ([JavaDoc](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-jsp-135444.html)), run `mvn javadoc:javadoc` in the root folder of the submodule you want to create documentation for. The documentation will be located in the `target/site/javadoc` folder after the Maven command is executed successfully. 



You can also get the latest information on SoapUI classes and methods [here](http://www.soapui.org/apidocs).



## Advanced Functionality



SoapUI Open Source offers basic functionality for API testing. For additional features, such as data-driven testing, coverage testing, groovy script debugging and others, try [SoapUI Pro](https://smartbear.com/product/ready-api/soapui/overview/).
