JGNAT is a port of the GNAT Ada 95 technology to the Java environment. JGNAT supports the development of both applications and applets. JGNAT comprises a compiler generating Java bytecode that is compatible with Java virtual machines conforming to Sun's standard (JDK 1.1 and above), and a set of tools to aid in developing Ada programs for the Java platform. The JGNAT compiler required the development of a new back-end specifically designed for the JVM and written entirely in Ada. JGNAT comes with a powerful tool called jvm2ada that serves to automatically generate compatible Ada bindings for the complete set of standardized Java API classes (and in fact for any set of class files). Programmers can use any Java class or component as well as develop Ada classes or components to be used in Java applications and be assured that their code will inter operate with the Java world and Java-enabled browsers. An interesting set of applets and applications is provided with JGNAT to illustrate interfacing between Ada and the Java world. Following the standard policy of Ada Core Technologies and ACT Europe, JGNAT is being distributed under the GNU GPL licensing scheme. Binary versions for this public version of JGNAT are: o GNU/Linux (glibc2.1) o Sun/Solaris o Windows NT 4.0 (as well as Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95) JGNAT 1.0p can be found at ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/jgnat and on other public sites distributing GNAT related material See the README file for further information on JGNAT. A number of papers comparing Ada 95 and the Java programming language are also provided with JGNAT 1.0p. If you are considering using JGNAT in commercial applications, please contact our sales offices.
