Ciao to all,

I have started (from 6 weeks about) to develop a Netbeans plug-in for
support the Ada language.

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 ?,
comp.lang.ada ?, Netbeans forum ? ...) ?

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.

FYI: I have had really good luck running Linux in Sun's VirtualBox on 
Windows.  It's a free download.

OK. Here are my first comments.

I had the same problem : Auto Detect was not working.

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.

> No chance to use an already existing gpr file ?
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.

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,

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.

Regards,
Steve
