The idea is to compile the Java source code to "byte code"
that can execute on any platform
which supports a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

If you can find an Ada compiler which emits byte code for a JVM,
you may be able to convince them that they should implement
safety critical applications in Ada instead of Java.
Otherwise, you should probably just forget about Ada.
