I have the OpenJDK Java version 11 installed:

The solution is to execute the SoapUI-x64-5.6.0.sh script using the following command:

./SoapUI-x64-5.6.0.sh -J-Djava.awt.headless=true

Just update your openjdk version. Follow these steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

Had the same error because all online tutorials adviced to use sudo for installer execution. Tried without sudo and it worked for me
