It look like Pascal would help to get the Annex-E subsystem up and running. But because of the problem and people like Pascal not helping, Xavier made the statements. [As a consequence, I am sorry to announce that Debian 5.0 "Lenny", scheduled for release in September 2008, will not support the Distributed Systems Annex.] Which hurt those who may need to use the "Distributed Systems" in Ada Now, as for JAVA. Did you forget to email Adacore? And ask them, about the connection with Java. But for now, any time someone talks about "Corba", "Soap", "MOM" and "RMI" they are talking about JAVA or "C/c++" not Ada. Even, Microsoft who designed "Soap" uses "Soap" to interface .NET to JAVA. That's what I was talking about then I say Polyorb is too much JAVA based. Now, If Pascal or others desire Ada to become a powerhouse or at least stay where it is, then Pascal and others need to use protocols that is associated with Ada not JAVA or Microsoft. Then use that protocol's routines as a super-class and build a set of sub-class protocols called "Corba", "Soap", "MOM" and "RMI" that can be added or not as needed, but the RPC would still be there with or without the sub-classes. But that's has not happen. And as you and other here have stated many times. [ GNAT is not Ada, it has not been for a long time ]. So why are you just maintaining it. You should spend the time to make GNAT the Ada that when a person install it preform the right way occurring to the RM without the use of command line options. Instead of cut some one down with an unusually name, that you may not like. In , Ludovic Brenta writes: >anon wrote: >> Do a little research on Polyorb.
