Well, not exactly. You can always choose to group several Ada records
into one Java class if your goal is to minimize the number of class
files, and then use one part of the class or the other. You can even
use overlapping if you have fields of the same type in several
records.
Note that this approach works well only with non-tagged records since
these Java classes will be deriving from java.lang.Object, it would be
more difficult with tagged records since you don't want to loose the
virtual dispatching capabilities.
