To the Team, I am working on a project the requires the use of Rational's Rose modeling tool and Apex compiler. We are using Rose 98 on Win95/NT to generate the models. Once the models are complete we have to move them to Rose Ada on a Sparc for code generation, reverse engineering, and builds. This is done because Rose 98 does not support Ada95. While at Rational for an Apex course I spoke to the Rose 98 sales/marketing support people about an Ada95 addin for Rose 98. I thought this was a reasonable request as Rational sells a Win95/NT Ada95 compiler. The response was unexpected. I was told that they saw no future in Ada and no one used Ada on PCs, just Java, Visual C++, and Visual Basic. They also stated that they knew they had lost the Ada market and saw no reason to support Ada on their PC product. I pointed out the Aonix has sold 75,000-85,000 licenses of ObjectAda and that translates into a fairly nice market potential for modeling tools. Does any one else think that an Ada95 addin for Rational Rose would be a good idea. I know Aonix has StP, but as a consumer I like the idea of choices. Also, does this attitude worry anyone else?
