Ah... my mistake. Thanks for the update.  So you took over eclipseD at dsource.org?  I'm glad to see Blackbird has been merged into that project then.  Maybe it would be best to rename that project to DDT to differentiate the projects?

There are no instruction for how to install DDT.  Have you included a zip file anywhere that we can extract to the eclipse plugin directory?

Thanks.

Actually, they coexists :)

Maybe. But DDT is not my project, I just take part in it.
BTW, everyone interested can join the project.

You can try to install it from eclipse's "find & install" feature - update address is http://svn.dsource.org/projects/eclipseD/trunk/ddt.updates/
But I dont think it is usable in current state.

I must be performing black magic since I'm using Elephant to manage a 200+ source file project and it doesn't seem too buggy / useless.

Maybe it's usable but VERY BUGGY, you can't deny that fact.
For example, sometimes it doesn't save the global settings (i.e. compiler path,
etc.). Some X buttons (exit/close) doesn't work. Moreover it currently creates a
default edit instance of a file called 'Elepha1' that wouldn't close when asked.
This kind of (very basic) bugs are from which Elephant suffers yet.
Oh, I almost forgot it also closed abruptly with an ugly error a few days ago!
:D

Doesn't seems too buggy? That's black magic for sure!

At least it works better than DIDE :)

Couldn't tell since I haven't tested it, but now I think I'll not test it at all :D

At least works better than KDevelop :P
// in my experience, this is _THE_ unstable program

I've been tempted to start pushing D to the K guys for a long time.

It's just amazing how unstable most of the K stuff is. And I just can't help feeling it's all because of C (or C++).
