At the Ada-Europe 2009 conference the IBM vendor presentation mentioned
an "early availability" release of Apex for Ada 2005.

At that time, June 2009, the IBM web site posted a page which included
the following announcement (it's no longer online, I checked):

-------
"Ada 2005 support in Rational Apex"

UPDATE - 11 May 2009

An "Early Availability" release (for Apex native) with a complete
implementation of Ada 2005 is available to customers who request it.
If you are interested in such a release, IBM is interested in your
feedback as well as which features of Ada 2005 are most important to
you. A "Generally Available" release has not yet been planned. If you
would like to receive the "Early Availability" release or would like
further information, please contact IBM Rational Client Support.

IBM Rational will offer Ada 2005 for each of the variants under Apex
4.4.0, that is, Solaris Native, Linux Native, PowerPC Rexec, PowerPC
VxWorks, and PowerPC LynxOS. However, the "early availability"
release is intended to be for either of the host platforms, with a
later release for the embedded targets.
-------

Currently, as in "now", the IBM web site includes a page at
<http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21441989>,
which is dated 2010-07-23, announcing:
"Apex 4.4.6 (Apex with Ada05) is available for download".

See also the "Product news" box on the Rational Apex page at
<http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/Software/Rational/Rational_Apex>.

just for information.  HTH
