You only need the one from your Ada compiler vendor. There's little point in
programming in anything else. I realize you might need to interface to
existing code in another language, but you don't need to *write* any code in
another language.

I suppose that people that can't stop themselves from developing in a dozen
languages might find some benefit to something like Eclipse. You can also
point a loaded gun at your head and pull the trigger a few times. It doesn't
make it a good idea. :-) It's hard enough to be proficient at one language.

(Needless to say, I don't think Eclipse support for Janus/Ada is going to be
a high priority.)
