Aonix is pleased to announce the release of AonixADT 3.11, the first 
publicly available version of our commercial quality Ada Development Toolkit

views, AonixADT also provides:



Support for Multiple Ada Compilers and Tools

    * ObjectAda toolchain support

files to show internal constructs (variables, subprograms, types, etc.)

    * Navigation to and from source code in the Ada Editor.



Ada 95 Colorizing Editor

    * Customizable colorization of Ada source code

    * Editor support for configurable code indentation while new code is 
written.

    * Automatic parenthesis matching, block matching, etc.

    * Semantic, project-wide navigation of Ada objects (variables, units, 
etc.) from editor including opening of the spec and body declaration and 
searching for references.

    * Syntactic and Semantic Code Assist for Ada constructs as well as 
application objects such as variables, packages, procedures, functions, 
types, exceptions, and tasks.



Build Automation

    * Automatic, incremental builds of projects.



Configuration File

    * Storage of all project build properties in ASCII text files which can 
be put under CM control along with source files.



Navigation to Compilation Errors

    * Build errors are displayed in Problems view with navigation to errors 
in source code.



Navigation to ARM

    * Build errors allow easy navigation to relevant section of hypertext 
Ada 95 Reference Manual for ObjectAda.



Pretty Printing

    * Whole file source code reformatting to match project-customizable 
preferred format.

    * Support for gnatpp pretty printer.



Multiple Partitions

    * Support projects that contain software for more than one partition. 
This means the ability to build more than one executable in one project 
space.



Eclipse Wizards

    * Ada Project Wizards

    * File, Package, Procedure, Function creation wizards.



Compatibility with Other Languages

    * Support for multi-language projects using CDT and other Eclipse 
plugins.

Our website currently has AonixADTv311 for Windows 2000 and XP, with Linux 
and Solaris versions to be made available shortly.

ObjectAda 8.2+ as well as various flavors/versions of GNAT are supported.

The Quickstart guide available in pdf from the ADT download page will should 
give you a good idea of the functionality and look and feel of ADT.

Shortly does not seem soon enough. I was very upset to find
out that I was not able to use this on my Mac. The part I don't
understand is why a java plugin for an IDE written in java
wouldn't run on all platforms automatically. I understand that
the SWT gui stuff is platform specific, but I would think that
would mean just recompiling. In any case, I'm waiting for the
Mac OS X version not listed above.

FWIW, JDT and CDT (in addition to Eclipse itself) also have separate plugins 
for different platforms.

This announcement is good news.

We seldom hear from Aonix anymore.  For that matter, we don't
see information from many other Ada compiler publishers.  It would
be nice to get more announcements of this kind in this forum so we
would know who is still supporting Ada.

Where is DDC-I?  OC Systems?  ICC?  Any other Ada compiler
publishers?   Ada tool publishers?    Is Rational still in the business
of providing Ada compilers and tools now that they are
captives of IBM?

I am starting to think that only us old timers even know about Usenet 
anymore.

DDC-I came out with an Eclipse environment months ago. Nothing posted.

Greenhills still has no Ada Eclipse but continues to update their Ada 
offerings (though their 2005 plans still seem in doubt). Though they 
tend to be aggressive in sales you never see a new product announcement 
here.

Rational/IBM seems to have the problem that they are so big one can 
never be sure if they sell any tool anymore (not just Ada) since stuff 
is so bogged down in the "software is a service/craft you a solution" 
mentality.

Of course it could be that the vendors got tired of getting yelled at 
for commercial postings on Usenet.  We are a hard group of people to please.

  Let's not bash Greenhills they have provided good Ada support over
the years. Ada 2005 updates should be customer driven, let's face it
you can hardly buy a complete C99 compliant compiler 7 years later.

  Rational/IBM still sells Ada but hasn't updated their products in
years, unless you have to, I think it would be foolish to get Ada from
them now.

  as long as they put ANN: or ANNOUNCE in the title instead of
disguising it as a topic I have no problem, in fact I tend to look at
them versus other crap that is posted

  Maybe other posters could list the current Ada compiler vendors and
their status.

Not sure I was really trying to bash them. They do have an agressive 
sales force. This is not entirely a bad thing. Often we do want to buy 
something. It is nice to find someone who wants to sell it!

As for the Ada 2005 support...It would be nice to see some mention of it 
on their site. I have asked about it (as a customer) in the recent past 
and been told that they were waiting to see what happened with the 
standard. That is a fair point, however the technical aspects have been 
nailed down now so I'd like to see something about it (i.e. Announcement 
- "Greenhills announces future availabilty of Ada 2005 support" - yes, 
they often pre-announce).

I can't speak to their products, but several IBM/Rational people were
instrumental in developing Ada 2005 -- which is more that I can say about
several other Ada compiler companies. I have to think that they are doing
more than sitting on their hands between ARG meetings...

I do know that they don't have anyone turning out PR for the Ada group. (In
IBM, it takes a lot of approvals to get PR allowed.) That might make updated
products invisible.
