O.K. not every comes with your compiler, when they exist. : I don't know yet a good enough XML library (with DTD and so on) Is this one insufficient?: "It includes support for parsing XML files, including DTDs, as well as a full support for SAX, and an almost complete support for the core part of the DOM" http://libre.act-europe.fr/xmlada/ : I'm not sure you can easily find exhaustive equivalent of : Neither am I. For some of them, I didn't even have to look, because of language features. ;) One of them does not apply in Ada context. Most of them probably don't come with compilers, yes. CORBA has a directory on adapower. An unzip library can be found at http://www.mysunrise.ch/users/gdm/unzipada.htm. The GNADE project appears to make some progress. In some spots, this list isn't exhaustive, but mere existence of a Java package doesn't solve every problem, sad as it is. I am not saying this to demean these useful libraries. E.g., not every popular image/sound format is handled by java.awt.* or javax. Same library tediousness as with Ada. But it sure makes one feel comfortable to have HashMaps, Lists, and Sets. (I think I#ll compare java.sql.*/Tomcat to GNADE/AWS and see if they match :-)
