The Ada2C compiler is mainly for platforms where there is no native
Ada compiler yet. I've never heard of an Ada2Java compiler - the
one's I've heard about compile to the JVM. That may seem nitpicking,
but it helps to look at it as a port to a new platform, one that
happens to have emulators all over the place.
Notice that neither of these are about interface capabilities.
Ada2C has the same Interfaces.C support that most Ada compilers
have. Ada2JVM still needs an Interfaces.Java and some glue,
and that could be added to any Ada compiler with a Java
compiler to the same platform. (That is,a native code Java
compiler.)
