Adahome.com is sadly out of date. Those who want information about Ada 
can start at http://adaworld.com/ or http://adapower.com/.

As for compiling Ada to Java byte code there is always Jgnat from 
AdaCore (ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/jgnat/), but it's not being 
maintained. As I understand it there wasn't enough interest. Apparently 
Ada programmers prefer compiling to machine code.
