However, it does not work well with Ada. (It was intended for C++). If you select a bunch of source files and try to "code in parallel" they all run one at a time on one machine. If you select several _views_ and code in parallel, each view is a separate job on the next available machine from your "execution list" (a file in a particular format in a particular place). But suppose you have package X in one view and package Y in another. Both with package Z. If Z has been changed, then when one job gets to package X, it will first update Z. If another job gets to package Y at the same time, it will also try to update Z. Both jobs will be writing into the DIANA nets which will be corrupted.
