Depends on exactly what you mean by "Integrated Development
Environment". Also depends on the target and host. Also depends on how
tightly integrated the Ada and C++ are.

The GNU tool set will let you compile and link together Ada and C++
code. You can import C++ classes as Ada types and vice versa (with
some hard work writing the pragmas by hand). The GNU Emacs editor will
help you edit the code and run makefiles. Support is available for the
Ada side of the GNU compiler and Emacs, from ACT
(http://www.gnat.com). RedHat may sell support for the C++ side; I've
not checked. Gnu CVS integrates nicely for source code control. It all
runs on Linux, Win32, Solaris, AIX, etc. I consider this the best IDE
available.

Rational sells a similar setup, but I'm not sure you can import C++
classes into Ada (I beleive only the GNAT tools can do that).

DDCI also sells a mixed Ada/C++ environment.

Hope this helps.
