The CDT group (C/C++ developers toolkit) seemed interested and eager to 
help anyone interested in exending that toolkit to support Ada though 
there really has not been any mail list traffic about that in about a year.


It is not clear to me that adding on top of CDT is the quickest/best 
choice. it may be faster to do something more direct and limited but it 
is worth a look.

Other are correct that there exists non-publically available eclipse 
plugins. (Aonix and DDCI and to some exent AdaCore).

Another thought for a starting point is that there are several colorizer 
plugins for eclipse that are Ada aware. That is obvious a far cry from 
real Eclipse integration.
