Thanks to Jesper Brandt for suggesting/helping out with several of the above issues!

Although soapUI has been downloaded/webstarted over 1000 times since its beta release, I have heard almost nothing from its users. Please let me know how/if soapUI is working for you; if there are any problems or if you have some suggestions to make your everyday soaping easier. Thanks!

Final release is planned to be in 2 weeks.

### 2005-09-16 : 1.0 beta1 release

This is the first "public" version of soapUI so please have patience and understanding with any problems related to WSDL importing, XML Validation, etc. (soapUI has been tested rather extensively only with doc/literal services in a J2EE environment and running under WinXP). post bug-reports on sourceforge including wsdls, soap requests, etc anything that could be needed to recreate your problems. Thanks!
