Checked out the repo and issued a "mvn clean install". The build fails in module "SoapUI" with these errors:

The latter error repeats maybe 50 times...

The former Unable to make protected final java.lang.Class java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int,java.security.ProtectionDomain) throws java.lang.ClassFormatError accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module @59e5ddf sound like a Java version issue to me. Has this really been built with Java 16 as the project's home page suggest?
