Yes, I did but I failed. I took a class file produced by AdaMagic and tried
to decompile it. It worked for a trivial hello world example but after I
added a little bit more code the decompiler failed. It seems that the
Ada compiler produced some legal bytecode which the decompiler could not
translate into some legal piece of Java. I finally gave up on this issue.

Just for curiosity. For what kind of project do you need an Ada to Java
compiler?
