DDC-I came out with an Eclipse environment months ago. Nothing posted. Greenhills still has no Ada Eclipse but continues to update their Ada offerings (though their 2005 plans still seem in doubt). Though they tend to be aggressive in sales you never see a new product announcement here. Rational/IBM seems to have the problem that they are so big one can never be sure if they sell any tool anymore (not just Ada) since stuff is so bogged down in the "software is a service/craft you a solution" mentality. Of course it could be that the vendors got tired of getting yelled at for commercial postings on Usenet. We are a hard group of people to please.
