Back 2000-2002 I kept badgering the UML guys at Artisan and iLogix to
try and create such a profile and I did get the impression the OMG
were working on such a thing. But without being a paid-up member of
the OMG, you can't get access to such draft or working groups.

Artisan (Francis Thom - who's now no longer with them) published such
a profile (still available for $25) but without there being an OMG
stamp on the front only Artisan tools are likely to support it.

I aware of other companies that have developed their own profiles to
support both Ada95 and SPARK95 but I believe there are IP issues
within these companies which prevent them from entering the public
domain.

Shame.
