I am mostly C++ and Java programmer and during mmy new project i came across Ada and IDE Apex. I have also tried GPS for GNAT and Objet Ada and my question is such : is there any environment wich could show code comlpetion for ada sources, documentation for code or any info while writing code?? I saw Aonix plugin for the Eclipse which is very good IDE but i could not get t any ideas

Depending on how it's configured, Apex can do code completion (my definition of the term, which may be different from yours). AdaGIDE will complete library package names, and the names of operations in those packages, and will create a skeleton for named parameter association for those operations. Other IDEs will have different capabilities.

GNAT 3.15p has gnatstub, which creates body skeletons for packages. It also adds a short comment to each operation. Unfortunately, that comment simply repeats the operation name, violating the basic rule that comments should not repeat what's in the code.
