Answer 1

I guess had the same issue on Ubuntu 12.04/OpenJDK-6, the execution get stuck in Voice.allocate() with no errors and no response. I tried using the Oracle/Sun JDK-6 instead of OpenJDK, and it worked fine.

P.S. Nice guide to install SunJDK on Ubuntu and configuring as default http://www.devsniper.com/ubuntu-12-04-install-sun-jdk-6-7/
