Execute SoapUI project with Maven and Jenkins

Question

I am new to Maven and Jenkins. I have automated my web service project with SoapUI (the free version). I need to include my project with DEV builds for continuous integration build. I searched in Google and seeing a lot in Maven (pom.xml) and Jenkins integration.

Could you please provide me how to start? Really appreciate your help.

UPDATE:

I installed Maven and created pom.xml and included my SoapUI project where I am using jxl.jar file for Excel read and write. I included:

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.sourceforge.jexcelapi</groupId> 
    <artifactId>jxl</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.12</version>
</dependency>

After running pom.xml file, I'm getting the below message:

Script1.groovy: 51: unable to resolve class Workbook @ line 51, column 10.
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(inPutDateFile)); ^ org.codehaus.groovy.syntax.SyntaxException: unable to resolve class Workbook

Please, has any one else faced this issue?

This is my favorite getting started guide for maven and Jenkins, it is with selenium, but should also work with soapui java code.

In Jenkins you can execute the Soapui Project/suite/testcase using SOAPUI Command line execution. which look like:

Windows: testrunner.bat -s"TestSuiteName" -c"TestCaseName" <project Path>

`Unix/Mac: testrunner.sh -s"TestSuiteName" -c"TestCaseName" Lets take example:

1. Your Suite Name : ABCSuite
2. Your Project Name: ABCProject
3. Your Project location on windows is: c:/abcDirectory/abcproject.xml

Then Soapui Command line statement will be:

testrunner.bat -s"ABCSuite" -c"ABCProject" c:/abcDirectory/abcproject.xml

And Jenkins support that command line execution, so i hope you do not need any Maven to integrate with Jenkins.
