Two things about GPS:
1) Make sure you use a recent version. Yes, first versions were buggy, 
but this has changed.

2) It is easy to prepare a project for your students. I'm giving a full 
Ada training in 6 days - obviously no time to waste with setting up an 
environment. I provide a directory which already contains a .gpr file, 
and students don't have to care about the details
