Re: What is the best way to get a process-list with Ada?

[Oliver Kleinke <oliver.kleinke@c-01a.de>]

You can use Ada an Java together with either jGNAT (Ada and Java run on
the JVM)[1] and/or GNAT-AJIS (Java on JVM, Ada compiled natively)[2].
Be aware that jGNAT is not compatible with Java Versions > 1.5 (to my
knowledge). It is very possible to make OS-portable software
without Java.
