LEA is a Lightweight Editor for Ada

Web site: http://l-e-a.sf.net/
Source repository #1: LEA / Code / [r338]
Source repository #2: GitHub - zertovitch/lea: LEA is a Lightweight Editor for Ada

Recent changes:

• Added auto insert feature: e.g. typing ( inserts ).
• Added color theme Solarized Light.
• Added a “stealth mode” in which LEA doesn’t leave
  traces in the registry.
• Editor adds -- if the cursor is within a comment when the Return key
  is pressed (consequence: a comment is split into two comments).
• If the cursor is within a string literal when the Return key is
  pressed, the string literal is split into two valid string
  literals with a & between them.
• Added unhandled exception information to message list
• Tabs with the various file names
• LEA doesn’t write scilexer.dll as a file; thus, it runs as
  a portable application (in the sense: you can run it from a
  read-only drive directly, without installation)
• Added a Build & Run button (for the HAC compiler).

Features:

• multi-document
• multiple undo’s & redo’s
• multi-line & multi-point edit, rectangular selections
• color themes, easy to switch
• duplication of lines and selections
• syntax highlighting
• parenthesis matching
• bookmarks

Currently available on Windows.
Gtk or other implementations are possible: the LEA_Common[.*] packages
are pure Ada, as well as HAC.

Enjoy!

GWindows is a full Microsoft Windows Rapid Application Development
framework for programming GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) with Ada.
GWindows works only with the GNAT development system,
but with some effort, GWindows could be made pure Ada.
GWindows is free and open-source!

Changes to the framework are detailed in gwindows/changes.txt or
in the News forum on the project site.

Some Wikipedia articles about GNAT are terribly outdated, for instance:

Perhaps someone will be tempted to give them a brush-up…

When a GNAT project A depends on project B, is there a simple (*) way to make gprbuild build project B before starting the build of A?
It would be useful when project B generates Ada sources…
Example:

with "code_generation.gpr";

project Main is
  for Source_Dirs use (".", "gen");
  for Object_Dir use "obj";
  for Create_Missing_Dirs use "True";  --  Flips by default the "-p" switch
  for Main use ("main.adb");
end Main;

(*) By “simple” I mean simpler than the way described here:
