I only found a short announcement

    Ada Core Technologies and ACT Europe
    announce JGNAT Professional release 1.1a. JGNAT Professional,
    the Ada 95 development environment for the Java platform,
    is a port of the GNAT Ada 95 technology to the Java environment.
    JGNAT supports the development of both applications and applets.

    JGNAT comprises a compiler generating Java bytecode
    fully compatible with Java virtual machines
    conforming to Sun's specification (JDK 1.1 and above),
    and a set of tools to aid in developing Ada programs for the Java platform.
