I've been using Intermetrics on the Sun, and the way you do this is to
run their "java2ada" tool, which creates an ada package spec (w/ pragma
Imports) from the byte code.  You then use the "adareg" tool to let the
AppletMagic compiler know that this code is available to code.  At
least, this sequence of steps works, if my reasoning is fuzzy Tuck will
let us know! ;)
