Almost. AppletMagic from Intermetrics, and ObjectAda from Aonix (new
name for Thomson since their merger with IDE) can generate Java
_byte code_, not Java High Level Language. This is even better, actually -
you can write applets without stepping outside Ada. You get Ada bindings
to the Java API, so you write your code in Ada, compile it, and presto
you've got an applet.
