I have submitted a proposal to the Eclipse Management Organization for the
creation of a vendor-neutral IDE for Ada development in Eclipse. Eclipse is
an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open
development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes
for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle.
ADT, the Ada Development Tools project (codename Hibachi), a sub-project of
the Tools top-level project analogous to JDT, the CDT and others, will
follow the Eclipse development process and be made available under the
Eclipse Public License (EPL).
As the Eclipse platform has grown in robustness, maturity and level of
adoption, the Ada community has expressed the desire for a first-class
Eclipse Ada development environment that can leverage the openness,
extensibility and widespread availability of the exemplary tools found
within the Eclipse framework. Various Ada vendors have announced the
availability of Eclipse plugins for their Ada tools. There is necessarily
much duplication of effort between these plugins, effort that could be
better spent advancing the robustness and functionality of a common Eclipse
IDE. Especially resource consuming is the integration of each proprietary
environment with the myriad of additional tools that are often used in the
large scale development environments in which Ada is frequently found. It is
the goal of this project to marshall the resources of the Ada community of
vendors, open source projects, third party tool providers, industrial and
academic partners in order to create a vendor neutral, extensible,
best-of-breed, Ada plugin for Eclipse.
Since it is the goal of the Hibachi project to create a framework that can
be exploited by all Ada vendors, regardless of underlying technology, the
participation of representatives of the various Ada and tools vendors is
highly desired in order to ensure that the best engineering design decisions
are being made in terms of openness and extensibility.
The ADT proposal can be seen at http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/adt/
Comments are welcome via the adt newsgroup-

Those interested in Hibachi are also invited to contact me directly.
I'd like to thank Aonix for contributing the sources to AonixADT as the
baseline for Hibachi, and agreeing to contribute engineering and project
management resources to the project. I'd also like to thank Doug Schaefer,
CDT project lead and member of the Tools Project Management Committee for
agreeing to act as a mentor, and for the guidance and enthusiasm he brings
to the project.
For information on the Eclipse development process, refer to

I look forward to your comments, suggestions and participation.
-Tom

sounds good - thanks to Aonix for supporting this effort
