Let me suggest having a look at UMLStudio. It does generate Ada 95 code from the diagrams and is quite tailorable (e.g., I wrote their generation code myself), but doesn't support reverse engineering for Ada (unlike the other languages supported). The cost is very reasonable for such things and free downloadable trial versions are available. See www.pragsoft.com for downloads/details. If more people ask for Ada reverse engineering they will have reason to consider it.
