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.

    <profile>
        <id>soapuitests</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>eviware</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-soapui-pro-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>4.5.1</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>soapuitests</id>
                            <phase>test</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>test</goal>
                            </goals>
                            <configuration>
                                <endpoint>http://myserver/myendpoint</endpoint>
                                <projectFile>
                                    ${project.basedir}/src/test/resources/my-soapui-project.xml
                                </projectFile>
                                <projectProperties>
                                </projectProperties>
                                <outputFolder>${project.build.directory}\soapui-logs</outputFolder>
                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>

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