Is there any activity to revive it, on a volunteer basis perhaps. IMO it was a mistake to abadon it. The reason is that though JVM is close to useless, it could be a great lever to persuade customers to switch to Ada. The main obstacle with our customers is unavailability of Ada compilers for many platforms. They will not appear without customer demands. And there will be no such demands, I know my customers. At the same time many of these potential platforms have JVM. The rest is clear, I suppose. --- Regards, Dmitry Kazakov www.dmitry-kazakov.de
