It's probably maven1. If anyone claims that maven2 has any dependencies 
beyond java, they are seriously misguided. It would be like saying that 
rpm tool has dependency on each and every package that you have built 
rpm for.

of course it is, even for those of us who did not earn their apostrophes yet

I am all for separating sipXconfig from the rest of the system. There is 
a lot of PBX independent goodies in it. Both PBX and sipXconfig can 
benefit from better defined interfaces. sipXconfig has also vastly 
shorter development/test cycle - that's why you guys are bombarded with 
Douglas's "we reached a milestone" e-mails.

Sure - but please note that SOAP is now implemented by sipXconfig. In 
Java. If you want ruby/python only solution you have to deal directly 
with sipXpbx. No SOAP there.
