But because I don't know Java language higher then read-only, the attempt was of course failed :). If somebody might to refactor CDT in DDT it would be so great - editor, outline, build, debug (gdb based) in one place for win32 and linux simultaneously plus count of external useful plugins. But alas it just a dream for nearest year or two, ehhh... pity.

Yep. I hear you. I tried to have a look at the Java code once many moons ago, but could not make much sense out of it.  I ended up getting plenty annoyed with the Java style and gave up trying to figure it all out.

It would be wonderful if a Java expert took the challenge.  I'm sure someone with enough background could make a CDT -> DDT conversion work. Even better would be if a dmake tool were integrated into the D eclipse system.  The automated build process would make D development alarmingly fun. :-)

1) Platform     -> Fedora Core 3 & 2 Linux
2) Editor       -> vim (text mode - not gvim)
3) Build system -> GNU make
4) Debugger     -> gdb and/or "printf/writef" statements
5) Profiler     -> not aware of any
6) Others       -> none at the moment

Emacs for now, until I find something better. Would really like to get D working with KDevelop.. Have tried leds, but it's too buggy to be usable for now.

Platform: WinXP Home and Ubuntu Linux 4.10
Editor: jEdit
Build System: SCons, though I'll have a look at A-A-P
Debugger: None :(
Profiler: None

This setup has the advantage that it works identically on Windows and Linux. jEdit's D support is quite decent (including auto indenting).
