only ShowFieldPrefs.d builds and runs ok, other samples cause run time error:

tango.core.Exception.IllegalElementException: Attempt to include invalid key _in
 Collection

what's the issue ? how to fix this?

tested with DMD 1.028, Tango svn, dwt svn, dwt addons svn.

I believe DWT svn is tracking the Tango releases.  Thus you are likely to get an error if you use Tango svn.  Last Tango release was 0.99.6.

What does this mean John ? DWT releases are  lagging Tango releases or something else ?

I switched to Tango 0.99.6 (revision 3461), get same errors.

tested with DMD 1.028, Tango 0.99.6, dwt-win svn, dwt addons svn.

I used tango collections in many places. But it turns out that they are different in some ways.
One example is, that maps from tango throw on null keys, in java they do not.

I still did not test the jface examples with tango 0.99.6, sorry.

Did they work for you with 0.99.5? (to be sure its an tango 0.99.5->0.99.6 issue)
Did you apply the changes from http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt/wiki/JFace ?

I tested with tango 0.99.5 svn first, get same issues.

yes, I apply the changes to build dwtx.lib.

hm, i tested all jface examples in this scenario.
Do you have a chance to locate the problematic place within dwtx ? stacktrace/debugger?

build ok if add -full to dsss buildflags, but the executable size is 14.1 MB to build a simplest JFace sample:

import
    dwt.widgets.Display,
    dwt.widgets.Shell,
    dwt.DWT,
    dwt.widgets.Control,
    dwt.widgets.Composite,
    dwt.widgets.Label,
    dwtx.jface.window.ApplicationWindow;

public class MyWindow : ApplicationWindow
{
    this()
    {
        super(null);
    }
    void run()
    {
        setBlockOnOpen(true);
        open();
        Display.getCurrent.dispose;
    }

    protected Control createContents(Composite parent)
    {
        auto label = new Label(parent, DWT.CENTER);
        label.setText("hello");
        return label;
    }

}

void main(char[][] args)
{
    (new MyWindow).run;

}


due to the executable is larger if build with dsss -full, I want to build JFace application via dmd: dmd test.d -L/SUBSYSTEM:windows:5

but cause unhandled run time exception (swt based code have not this issue):
 tango.core.Exception.IllegalElementException: Attempt to include invalid key _in Collection

how to fix this ?

same executable size if build with dmd directly.

dwt.lib : 6177 KB
dwtx.lib: 8788 KB
JFace based executable size: 14MB+ (with -release -O -inline buildflags)

does whole lib linked into JFace based executable?

14 MB is too bigger!!

how to decrease the executable size (e.g. to 7MB without UPX) ?

I don't know exactly why the old dwt is significant smaller in code size. Perhaps this is because Shawn combined many Java classes into modules. I decided not to do this, instead I want to stay as close as possible to the Java sources. So later merges are easier.

Another issue is, to have dynamic libs available. Afaik, at the moment DMD doesn't support dynamic libs for classes/exceptions/GC on win32 nor linux. On win32 DDL might be an option. But i don't know if libs would solve your problem with the executable size.

So my main toolchain issues at the moment are:
- compile speed
- executable size
- dynamic lib supprt (D<->D with classes/interfaces/exceptions/...)
- distribution system with easy install and dependency management
- better debugging support and stacktrace information at runtime
