An analysis of various language tools targetting hte JVM
(http://www.objectwatch.com/issue_33.htm), resulted in a list of only eight
"Possibly Commercial Languages (non-Java) ." of these eight, two  (25%) are
Ada compilers. Alas, the the article goes on to say:

<quote>
* AppletMagic, a compiler of Ada 95. I was unable to get any information on
this product.

*  JGNAT, another compiler of ADA 95 from Ada Core Technologies. I spoke to
Nancy Cruz at Ada Core Technologies who told me this work was funded by the
Defense Department. She promised me a list of customers using this product
within 15 minutes, but, as of press time (five days later) has not followed
through.

It would be great to learn more here, if not from the web page, about real
world users.
It may also be worthwhile, marketing-wise, to have that page updated with
more information.
