I use StarTeam and here's how I would like to integrate SCM with the build
process (I just haven't gotten around to it yet):
1) Create an SCM label for the build.
2) Check out project source at the label made in #1.
3) Build project.
4) Check in a .war file.
5) Attach .war file to previously created label.
6) Promote label to next Promotion level.

P.S. Why have you regretted the integration of the two?
