not in CVS version!
Writing plugins is very easy (usually just a jelly script and some resources).
Recently their download as just another dependency made it easy to add them
into your builds.
Great! All they need to do is make a release! I only evaluated the
released versions.

So not the case. Can you point out something that you found difficult to do
with it? The one thing that has held me up was a bug in the POM loading.
The main thing I was looking at is the process of adding project
specific extensions like our Metagenerate stuff for Phoenix.
I would prefer an option that would allow Maven to use what we provide
in the project.
WIth Centipede, that is as simple as adding an import statement:
<import cent="...."/>
If Maven can do that too, then great! I am still on the fence.

Both projects have the typical Open Source failings. Documentation
is sparse, and typically only covers what the developers were
concentrating on. For example, both focus more attention to
_converting_ an existing project than to _creating_ a new project
from scratch. Between the two, Maven does have marginally better
documentation.
I feel comfortable with Maven (after the first few days bashing head against
wall). So feel free to ask anything about it - once you get a grip of jelly
everything becomes relatively easy and jelly rocks.
Sounds good.
