Rather than programmatically calling SoapUI to run your tests, have you considered using the maven-soapui-pro-plugin ?

Here's an introduction to Apache Maven, if you need to read about it :)

Now, given you have a maven project, edit your pom.xml and add a profile similar to the one below. Then you can run maven with -Dsoapuitests, and your SoapUI test suite(s) will run.

                    maven-soapui-pro-plugin
                    4.5.1
                    
                        
                            soapuitests
                            test
                            
                                test
                            
                            
                                http://myserver/myendpoint
                                
                                    ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/my-soapui-project.xml
                                
                                
                                
                                ${project.build.directory}\soapui-logs
                            
                        
                    
                
            
        
    

I hope this is of help to you, good luck.
