I'm announcing the release of DDT (D Development Tools) version 0.4.0:

http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/

(There was previously an older inactive project also called DDT, it has been renamed to EclipseD, with the authors permission.)

The DDT project is a direct continuation of the Mmrnmhrm project. It has been renamed to reflect a more serious and unified approach to the Eclipse IDE project development. (although ocasional odd references might still be present in less conspicuous places ^_^ )

It has been 2 years since the last significant release, and this version has a lot of rough edges: Some newer D2 syntaxes are not yet supported (http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/issues/detail?id=6), and otherwise there are likely to be several parser bugs in the IDE (... you will be baked...). But it should provide for a minimally useful IDE, at least for simpler D projects.

See http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/wiki/Features for a rough idea of what to expect.

Is very much far away from the utility,  would rather reform and support the descent than re- develop the ddt

I hope you're not discouraged by the lack of feedback.  I'm hoping to switch to this project from Descent once it matures a little bit.

I successfully installed it and i am testing it. I was using Descent at a very basic level and so far DDT looks good.

Thanks for all the work!

by the way DDT for me is

i.e. a distributed debugger

Very nice!
Although I would really like Issue #17 to be fixed.
So that you can write ANSI style code.

Thank you so much for your work. It's really awesome to see advancement for the D eclipse plugins.

Looking forward to giving this a shot.  Thanks so much for your contribution!

In regards to cross-platform development tools, has anyone attempted D support for Emacs CEDET?  Would this effort be worthwhile - i.e. is CEDET a popular platform?  Now that GDB has D language support, I could see this being a powerful solution...

Thanks to the people who tried it out, I really hope to progress this IDE much further, but it's gonna take time (as one would expect).

At the moment I'm not in "full-speed" development mode yet: in terms of D stuff I have several tasks not related to DDT that I plan to do in the meanwhile, like reading up my backlog of NG messages (hopefully resisting the temptation to post too much), start reading TDPL, familiarize myself with D2 more, write some actual D2 code (other than just snippets), try other toolchain tools.

Also, I'll likely soon work on some DDT tasks like continuous integration (automated build and then automated testing), which are actually low priority/importance for DDT, but are part of some Eclipse Platform experimenting and learning that I need do for similar stuff related to my job.

After that there will hopefully be more time available to spend on DDT.
