I think this is great. I use NetBeans for my Java work and I'd love to
have Ada support in it.

I notice in your post on the NetBeans forum that you are looking at the
possibility of integrating AdaDoc. Be aware that I've essentially taken
over the maintenance and development of AdaDoc. If the system has bugs
or limitations that get in the way of what you want to do, let me know
and I may be able to do something about it.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your interest.
AdaDoc I tried about 3 weeks ago for a few days and I thought it
interesting. Now I do not have time to continue to study it.
Now I'm developing Ada Editor, Ada Platform and Ada Project modules.
The syntax highlighting and semantic analyser now is complete.
The creation of a Ada project that use a GNAT platform is almost
complete.
Just begin to set the ada doc module, ask if you want to give me
support in the development of the module.

ciao

What sort of support did you have in mind. Unfortunately my time is very
tight so my contributions tend to be slow.

It's not a problem.
Also the definition of the software requirements or the testing for me
can be an important help.

Hi Andrea

Is there any preferred way to send you our feedbacks (direct mail ?,

Hi,

Thanks for this first release :)

With netbeans 6.5 all the installation process is smooth, great.

My gnat directories are not in an "standard" place and so when I try to
create a new project I have a "Wrong Ada Platform" message.
If I try to "auto detect" one I get nothing and I don't know which
directory to point to add a new platform.

Can you help me please ?
Thanks in advance, xavier

Go in Tools->Ada Platform, press New button and chose the root folder
of GNAT installation.

Thanks for the tip.
I selected /tools/ada (which contains bin lib and so on) and then OK but
I don't get any new platform. I had also a try with /tools/ada/bin
without much success.

I'm running a Debain sid i386.
Hope it will help.
Sorry to be so dumb with netbeans, I'm used to emacs + ada-mode :)

Thanx for your information, but unfortunately I tested Ada for
Netbeans only windows systems.
I'll try to understand where is the problem and as soon as possible
I'll install a version of linux on my laptap.
Ciao and thanx again.

Sorry ... I post it too rapidly ...

I meant :
I had the same "Auto detect" Problem - It is suppose to look for
gnatmake.exe files, right ?
So I had the GNAT GPL root folder, and was able to create a first Ada
for Netbeans project.

If I understand correctly, it creates a gpr file based on the Netbean
project properties, right ?
No chance to use an already existing gpr file ?

The editor detects incorrect syntax error, particulary with Character
and Strings like the following ones :
package test_ada_for_netbeans is

    A_character : constant character := '"';
    Another_character : constant Character := '''';

    A_String    : constant String := """";

end test_ada_for_netbeans;

That s all for the moment.

Regards.

No, I'm look gnat file (with or without .exe if the S.O. is not
windows) but I don't understand because not work.
Which S.O. and which version do you use?
Which GNAT distribution and which version do you s

No, the project is an ant based project and the gpr file is created at
runtime when build/clean command are executed.

In the future I'll create the import from gpr file.

What do you mean by 'root folder of gnat'? In Debian you have the
binaries (gnat, gnatmake, gnatprep,...) in /usr/bin, the runtime
library source is in /usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.3, the dlls in
/usr/lib. If you need to call gnat, you can simply call 'gnat', because it
is in the path.

You are right. This sentence is valid only for windows users. I have
executed some tests on only windows. Hardly possible I will install
linux on my pc.

Yes I know, in fact with the function Auto Detect I look for gnat in
the /usr/bin folder, but it seems that It doesn't work.

I believe that I will install debian as soon as possible ;)

I solved any problems with 0.1.6 version (http://plugins.netbeans.org/
PluginPortal/faces/PluginDetailPage.jsp?pluginid=13977):
1. Fix string and char literal recognition.
2. Fix new ada platform and autodetect in linux system.
3. Fix gpr template file for linux systems.
4. Fix project actions for linux systems.

This first version of ada for netbeans I have released for  the
communities to have some necessary feedbacks to the pursuance of the
project available, to understand if the road that I have undertaken is
correct.

Thanks all for your collaboration.

Hi,

I have tested your last version on a Debian GNU/Linux with custom
directory for GNAT (GPL 2007). It worked near perfection :)
The only problem (very little) I encountered was that I tried directly a
 clean and build project. It works now because of a simple build that
create the needed ../build directory.

One more time : thank you for this great job.
It will ease my work at lab to bring people to Ada since they mostly
come from Java + Netbeans.

Thanks for these fixes.

So, I have installed 0.1.6

Here my comments :
1/ Auto-Detect is still not giving me any results.
I am using Windows XP SP3 with Gnat GPL 2008 and Gnat GPL 2007
"manually copied" somewhere on C:
I start Netbeans 6.5 from a Command Prompt with PATH adjusted
(depending on which compiler I want to use).
FYI,  (Emacs + ada-mode) and GPS are working fine

2/ Here under you will find an updated Ada Source file for which the
editor claims there are "Syntax error"

Regards and thanks again for that contribution.

Can you tell me the complete path of GNAT GPL 2007 and 2008 that you
have on your computer?
I will try to understand because it doesn't work. Also I use GNAT GPL
2008.

Hello Andrea

Here is the requested information :

On my Windows XP-SP3 computer, I have gnat/gcc compilers installed
in :
- C:\Strategies\GNAT_GPL_2008
- C:\Strategies\GNAT_GPL_2007
- C:\Stratgies\MinGW-3.4.5

I start Netbeans from a command prompt, with current directory set as
C:\Work-SVN\HEAD

Hi Jérôme,

I have just implemented, but not released, the fixing of the problems
1 and 2.
1. For to solve the auto-detect, I check the environment path variable
to see if I find any other Ada platforms installations.
2. The syntax error was cause by a semicolon in more.

Thanks for your precious information.
When I will release a new version you will be informed.

Ciao,
Andrea

I have just published a new version of Ada for NB 0.1.7:

Hello Andrea.

I confirm : Everything I have reported is fixed with 0.1.7.
Thanks a lot !

By the way, is there any possibility to contribute to that project ?

A few comments about 0.1.7 :
1/ In Project Properties > Build > Main Module > Browse, it would be
good

b/ to have an optionnal filter (ex : *.adb; *-test.adb)

Here under you will find an updated Ada Source file for which the
editor claims there are "Syntax error".
PS : Uncomment pragma License, and you will get another one.

AFAICT this handling of ' (I guess) would typical of
some automatically generated parsers.  (The automatic
color highlighting of program text in Wikipedia
suffered from the same problem, last time I tried.)

Yes! You are already doing it.
I will answer you with calm this evening I am very busy in another
project.

Good! A lot of functions are only draft. I accept very gladly this
type of comments.

Access-to-subprogram is an Ada 2005 extension.
My parser for now is compatible only with the syntax of Ada 95.

For this syntax error problem, hardly possible I will resolve it.
Operateur : constant Ensemble := Ensemble'('+' | '-' => True, others
=> False);

As soon as possible I send you information on as to contribute to the
project.
Thanks for your precious information.

Ciao,
Andrea

A token sequence like Character'('x') is a pitfall for some lexical
analyzers.

When you hit a ', you have to check the previous token. According to
the Ada syntax, after the keyword all, an identifier, a right
parenthesis, it has to be treated as a single apostrophe, else it's
the start of a character literal.

Slightly OT - please forgive me.

Sun's VirtualBox - is this like VMWARE? which distro of Linux have you
run successfully? In particular with gnat? Hypothetically, could one
have the same dir structure and build on both platforms?

thanks for any info,

Nice job!!!

I've been struggling to get XCode and Mac-Ada working but the Netbeans
integration worked much more smoothly...

I noticed that when I clicked on "Manage" to detect/select the GNAT
installation that when it came back after selection the warning about
not being a valid configuration was still there and the "Next>" button
not available. However, I just clicked on "<Back" and then returned to
the page with "Next>" and
warning had gone and the selection made and was able to create the
project. That was on both WinXP and Mac OS X.

Cheers

Yes, it is very much like VMWARE.

I have run both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Ubuntu.  I have run gnat on 
both versions.  The VirtualBox manual describes officially supported "Guest 
Additions" for Fedora, Redhat, SUSE, and Ubuntu.  I have also run Windows 
2000 with no issues.

The 64 bit version of virtual box version 2.1.2 is about a 40 MB download. 
I started using the 64 bit version when I started running Vista 64.  I used 
the 32 bit version when I was running XP.

The easiest way to install an OS is to download an ISO image and mount it as 
a virtual disk on the VM.  With Ubuntu it just worked.

I have used 3 virtual machines (in order of preference): VMWARE Workstation, 
VirtutalBox and VirtualPC.

I think VMWARE is nicer than VirtualBox, but you can't beat the price of 
VirtualBox.

Sorry I can't help with building gnat.  I haven't tried it in a long time 
and didn't know what I was doing the last time I did.

Steve

I thank all for the compliments and for the competent and precious
comments.
I would like to give you a small information, also answering to
Jérôme, on the as to collaborate with this project.

Have I activated on Source Forge the possibility to communicate bugs,
futures and support requests => http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=248853.

To collaborate as developer is necessary to follow the information
that you find in this page http://www.netbeans.org/community/contribute/project-and-contrib.html,
if it is not clear what is necessary you can ask to me.

Ciao and thanks,
Andrea
