ObjectAda 8.2 for Windows Delivers .NET Compatibility and Dramatic Performance Improvements

Addresses emerging requirements for coordination with Java and .NET components

Birmingham, UK, October 19, 2005

Aonix®, a provider of solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, released the latest version of ObjectAda for the Windows development environment. In addition to supporting an Eclipse-based development environment targeting mission-critical software solutions, ObjectAda for Windows integrates current Microsoft platform improvements, ensuring full compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, faster linking times, as well as other platform enhancements. In preparation for market trends, ObjectAda for Windows includes a Java-call interface, enabling Java applications to be called from an Ada program.

The Aonix ObjectAda for Windows brings the improvements of ObjectAda 8.2 to the Windows development platform. In integrating current Windows improvements with the Aonix Ada 95 compiler, Aonix has delivered enhancements to the object code and symbolic debugging information generation and provided full compatibility with the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 development tools. Recognizing the growing number of large-scale Ada projects, ObjectAda 8.2 for Windows offers dramatic performance improvements for developers linking executable files or initiating debugging sessions for large programs.

“The increased number of large-team projects requires simplified, platform access,”” noted Jacques Brygier, vice president of marketing at Aonix. “By providing a Windows- and Eclipse-compatible technology for Aonix customers, we ensure that they have access to the broadest range of integrated development tool technologies, reducing cost and improving project flexibility. Our ObjectAda for Windows enables developers to take advantage of Eclipse-based resources as well as enjoy seamless integration within the Microsoft environment.”

ObjectAda for Windows 8.2 includes the comprehensive Ada libraries needed for calling Windows Win32 and the Visual C++ .NET 2003 MFC interfaces from application source code written in Ada. In ObjectAda for Windows, these Ada binding libraries are fully compatible with the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 tools and libraries.

In addition to the basic compiler development package, ObjectAda Project Pack contains AdaJNI, an interface to call Java™ programs from Ada and the AdaNav™ toolset, which provides complete system HTML source-navigation capabilities as well as call- and unit-tree graphical reporting and automatic data dictionary generation. The AdaNav profiler also provides run-time performance reporting to identify application hot spots. The ObjectAda Pinnacle contains the Ada-ASSURED advanced editor that provides additional language-sensitive features and style-guideline conformance checking.

As part of the ObjectAda 8.2 family, ObjectAda for Windows allows developers to choose between the traditional Aonix IDE for development and the new AonixADT™ Eclipse plug-in. AonixADT incorporates Ada-project awareness, an Ada-language sensitive editor, Ada-language compile and build capabilities, and a complete Ada debugger interface, enabling Ada developers to enjoy state-of-the-art interface capabilities geared to maximize developer ease and efficiency.
