Can SoapUI Project Files be Split?

Question

Is it possible to split a SoapUI project XML file into many smaller files?

I can see the XML file being a contention point in code versioning, and result in many merge conflicts. It'd make more sense to have the project split into many smaller files so that changes are more isolated; but then we may end up with shared config being replicated between them.

Is the a commonly-adopted solution to this problem? I've never used SoapUI (someone on my team uses it) so I'm likely ignorant of SoapUI best practice.

To address this portion of the question:

It may help to have SoapUI format the project file in a more VCS friendly way by pretty printing the project file. Try Preferences -> WSDL Settings -> Pretty Print Project Files

Answer 2

May be "composite project" option fits your requirements: http://www.soapui.org/Working-with-Projects/team-testing-support.html

This option is only available in soapUI Pro.
