Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Nils Fredrik Gjerull (nfg)]

I experience a similar error with using SoapUI, but only if I have JxBrowser enabled.

If I disable the JxBrowser SoapUI works. Check this blog post on how to disable JxBrowser:
http://blog.mac2k3.be/2011/05/soapui-3-6-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-11-04/

Here is a email thread about the issue with Ubuntu 11.10:

I also like to note that this also happens with Oracle Hotspot VM version 6.0_29-b11.

Disabling JxBrowser workaround works here too. Thanks!
