From what little I've seen of the Eclipse environment, I would be very
interested in working on a project of that sort.
Although I dont know how much help I would be as I'm still relatively new
to Ada95. I am starting to get an intuitive feel for the language though,
so I could be of use in debugging and perhaps doing a small plugin or
two.

Yeah, Eclipse looks real nice.  Would be even nicer with Ada95 support.

What do ya have in mind?
