Thanks for all your hard work on this. Any thoughts on the Linux and Mac OSX versions?

I think an automation will be the right way, as Kris said. At least for a pre-translation. This will save a lot workload. But I don't think it is easy to make such an intelligent converter. I suspect we need several converters for different platforms, since there may be some OS specified implementation. After a pre-translation is done, we need refine the code and make it workable. I have no programming experience on Mac OSX and Linux. But since there are some common approaches on both platforms, the experience on Win32 will still be helpful. Volunteers are welcome to help us.

A general Java to D converter will be very important and helpful. Java is
far easy to be translated to D than C++. A translator will help us port
those excellent java projects.
Currently I think a lot of JFace and Draw2D.
JFace is wrapper of SWT for common UI programming tasks. It will make GUI
programming easier.

Draw2d is a lightweight toolkit of graphical components. It is used to make
high performance graphics application such as GUI builder, UML editor.

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-GEF-Draw2d/GEF-Draw2d.html

Both are based on SWT and window-system-independent in both their API and implementation. They are very suitable for auto-translation.

Just my thoughts.

Can you put all the documentation for it online in html format? I use Ddoc to generate the D web site pages, it would be nice if DWT was the same way.

We are using the docs from SWT...
