I have experience of Maven/Centipede so I can at least comment on this projects:

I have been using it for quite some time on a number of projects. However, there are some fundamental changes being made at present to the way to the way the core system works. The most important is that with the next release only one central version of Centipede will be required (at the moment each project uses it's own copy). It is safe to start using Centipede now, the migration path to the next version will be perfectly manageable, but will involve some config file changes. > Questions: > > - is my understanding of the various tools correct?

A vote has been taken on this and the decision was *not* to remove Maven. The reason the vote arose in the first place was that nobody is supporting the Maven cent, presumably because no one currently using Centipede needs it (I know I have it turned off in all my projects). However, it is to remain in place so that shuold someone want to support it they can. > - to make my CI tool, as I didn't find a free java/Ant to SCC interface > library, I will have to write my own wrapper scripts using the command > line API to my RCS. but I am not sure whether I can integrate this into > the CI tools easily.
