Fix SoapUI Freeze on start on macOS

Tips originally from http://www.bencode.net/blog/2015/01/25/soapui-freezing-osx/ which no longer seems to exist :thinking_face:

tl;dr

1. Kill SoapUI
2. enable browser component
3. restart

Steps

1 - Kill SoapUI

❯ ps ax | grep SoapUI
 2173   ??  S      0:17.46 /Applications/SoapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub
 2187 s002  R+     0:00.00 grep --color=auto SoapUI

~
❯ kill 2173

2 - Enable browser component

❯ cd /Applications/SoapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents/java/app/bin/

/Applications/SoapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents/java/app/bin
❯ vi soapui.sh

Change:

 65 # uncomment to disable browser component
 66 # JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true"

To:

 65 # uncomment to disable browser component
 66    JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true"

Then enable browser via vmoptions:

/Applications/SoapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents/java/app/bin
❯ cd ../../..

/Applications/SoapUI-5.2.1.app/Contents
❯ echo '-Dsoapui.browser.disabled=true' >> vmoptions.txt

3 - ...and restart!
