Cross-platform: I believe DUI is the most developed of them, but whether that means it's better than MinWin I don't know.

Win32: SDWF is quite a decent one, at least for my purposes

Of course. So DWT is not a binding or wrapper, but a translation of the SWT source code to D source code?

You may be interested in the Crystal Widgets Library at some point in the future. CWL is a project BlackCrystal is working on to basically make the equivalent of the JDK for D except very modular and extremely easy to use.

Its not out yet though; it wont be for a while. Just thought I'd take the time to mention it :)

Here is the demo I've got so far http://www.terrainformatica.com/screenshots/HarmoniaDemo.zip

It contains exe (374 KB - full framework including HTML engine, libpng,
libjpg, zlib)
and main D file (attached).

Screenshot of the demo I've published in previous post.

Symptoms: on one of testing machines sometimes appears "black screen". In
one second
screen restores. Might happen after exiting from the app. Whould be nice if
someone could try it - is it mine or just video card?

Andrew.

Equivalent of the JDK?  That's the DMD package, surely?

No not the standard library. The JDK gives you a lot of stuff in the library such as GUIs, some nice drawing stuff, and a few trinkets like compression streams, etc.

Thats what CWL is going to be, a toolkit you can take modules out and use (or the entire thing if you want) so you could build anything from a 3D Game to a business app with extreme ease.

How does one tell which parts of the JDK library aren't part of the Java standard library?

I guess everything there is standard Java library..

If that's the case, then the DMD package _is_ the equivalent of JDK. I.e. JDK (J2SDK, whatever the current name is) consists of the Java compiler, related tools and Java standard library; the DMD package consists of DMD itself, related tools and D standard library.
