You only need the one from your Ada compiler vendor. There's little point
in
programming in anything else. I realize you might need to interface to
existing code in another language, but you don't need to *write* any code
in
another language.

I suppose that people that can't stop themselves from developing in a
dozen
languages might find some benefit to something like Eclipse. You can also
point a loaded gun at your head and pull the trigger a few times. It
doesn't
make it a good idea. :-) It's hard enough to be proficient at one
language.

(Needless to say, I don't think Eclipse support for Janus/Ada is going to
be
a high priority.)
