The soapUI IntelliJ-Plugin provides all soapui-functionality directly from within IntelliJ IDEA allowing one integrated development and testing environment for Web Services in Java. Existing soapUI desktop components are made available through two ToolWindows:
All soapUI Desktop Panels are made available as editor tabs in IDEA and will be opened/closed as usual. Here are some screenshots:

Currently, the plugin can be seen as a "level-1" integration, ie it is "merely" a packaging of soapUI components in the IntelliJ environment.
The plugin is downloadable from SourceForge and through IntelliJ's plugin-manager. After installing, you should increase IntelliJ's PermGen space as the plugin requires a fair amount of memory; do this by altering the idea.exe.vmoptions file in the idea bin directory to for example:
-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -ea
The existing Getting Started applies also to the IntelliJ Plugin, as does the User Guide. The only real difference is that the standalone soapUI Desktop has been replaced by the IntelliJ tabbed interface for editors.
