A new version of DDT - D Development tools is out.
The major change is the new parser which is updated to the latest version of D, and is much more robust than the previous one.

Full changelog/info here:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ddt-ide/z9ggxfCKR6M/3YrkjusZRfYJ

Note that Juno and Kepler versions of Eclipse are not supported if they contain DLTK. If you wanna use Juno/Kepler, download a package without DLTK. Supported for the latest versions of DLTK will be added in the future.

Cool! I noticed that no screenshot linked from https://code.google.com/p/ddt/wiki/Features loads.

Hum, they should load as the links are valid, and working from my end.

In any case, they should be updated though, as they are quite ancient and outdated - back from when DDT was called Mmrnmhrm. I'll see if I can do it tomorrow.

Cool! It doesn't work with nodeclipse so it must be uninstalled (this may be done after installing DDT). Then it seems to be working, but user should setup DMD paths manually if he's on Linux like me (I'm on Ubuntu 12.10). Paths for DMD should be set up to /usr/bin/dmd for executable and /usr/include/dmd/druntime/import,
/usr/include/dmd/phobos for libraries.

I assume the Eclipse updates URL is http://updates.ddt.googlecode.com/git/

I downloaded the standard version of Kepler. Then I followed the installation instructions. But after the restart I don't see anything related to DDT/D in the preferences.

Yes, I forgot to mention the update site URL changed since last release.

I installed into Juno which seems to work fine, I have no idea whether DLTK is installed or not. However on starting, I get the following on the console:

=============  Mmrnmhrm INITIALIZING  =============


 The single biggest problem with Eclipse is the annual upgrade marathon.
Since nothing carries over from one installation to another you have to
go through the whole rigmarole to install all the extras, every year. I
wonder whether to stay with Juno and ignore Kepler.

Very strange! (that it completes the install, but doesn't start properly)
Let me see your configuration log, it's at:
Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Configuration
And also the Error log, it's at "View Error Log" on that same dialog.

If you add the update site for the new Eclipse release (for example http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler for Kepler) to your current installation, and run the "Check for Updates" it should update Eclipse and retain all the extra plugins you have installed. (it should update all Eclipse projects that are part of the Kepler release, basically nearly all projects that hosted at Eclipse.org)

It's a bit annoying that this isn't done automatically in some way, yes. And also annoying that the update site for new releases is not easily found on the Eclipse website either.
