Gem #58: Ada / Java exception handling

Abstract

Ada and Java are two languages that rely heavily on exceptions. A large part of the Ada data model is based on the fact that data is checked at run time, and will raise various kinds of exceptions such as Constraint_Error when constraints are violated. Similarly, there are many cases where Java performs checks that can raise exceptions, among the most common being checks on casts and null dereferences. It is therefore extremely important to support exceptions that are properly propagated from one language to the other and even potentially caught/handled, without having to worry about the language of origin.
