There was a mix of Java and Ada source and after some puzzeling at first, I managed to get Ada to call Java (including calls from tasks) and Java to call Ada packages (classes). It saved me the trouble of learning a new language and I too really needed the tasking support from Ada since I was implementing a proprietary protocol for driving a communications radio. The main penalty of using JGNAT is that you get quite a few runtime Java classes to link with your code. This was of some concern to me because a PDA doesn't have much :-) The project was relatively small but I got a good impression of JGNAT. It matched up to my expectations. I haven't had a look at the public version so I can't comment on that one.
