Re: wanted: Ada binding for Java Swing to target JVM

[Dave Wood <dpw@cts.com>]

The Swing binding and AdaJNI will be included
in the next ObjectAda release (7.1.3) which 
you will get automatically if you are under
a support or subscription contract.  AdaJNI
is an excellent technology which nicely complements
AverStar Appletmagic technology.  Shayne Flint 
of Ainslee will be presenting on the subject at 
SIGAda '98, and I strongly encourage fans of Ada 
and Java to attend.
