However, another user wrote me to say that ada2jvm, a part of the JGNAT package would do just what I was asking (or was that jvm2ada? need to check it again.). This will let me do the screen designs in Java, where there are tools around and portable libraries that will (almost always) already be installed, and the drive them with an Ada main program that calls the screens to get information. (I believe that JNI would require that the Java program be the main routine, though I haven't checked that out in detail.)
