| No not yet. But I have some idea in this direction. From 
| example AWS 2.0 (the
| coming release) will have a WSDL generator. It would be nice 
| to have a menu
| item to ask to generate the stub/skeleton directly from 
| within GPS. This would
| use the new ada2wsdl (spec -> WSDL) and wsdl2aws (WSDL -> 
| stub/skeleton)
| generators. Wouldn't this be nice :)

I don't know what is wsdl, but yes, it will be nice! :-)

Integrating stub/skeleton generation within some tools menu, or even just
documentation within the help menu will result in a more handy set of
library, and increase the feeling of ease with Ada.
I am pretty sure this greatly help Ada adoption, at least in non-industrial
context.

But the the kind of integration I dream of is this one : I open the GPS
integrated UML modeler, start some sequence diagram, create an object in a
choice list including all objects from AWS/GNADE/etc. API, create a call
from one of my object to this AWS API by choosing in actual procedure
offered by this AWS object, having the help tooltip of this AWS operation by
letting the mouse on the arrows, returning to the code view of my object and
have a call to AWS with formal parameters ready to be completed, and so on. 
No big technical challenge, just a big work!

.... OK, let's return to reality :-)
