I'm hoping the switch to D2 will be fairly easy since the utility libraries/functions are already ported to D2 (the Windows and Linux versions use them).

A play on the original name SWT - Standard Widget Toolkit. I once read that SWT is pronounced "SWAT", so I thought "DWAT" would be the logical consequence (which sounds a bit like "twat"). > D kind of had that feature.

I was thinking of a PHP like embedding like this: <html> ... <?d auto greeting = "Hello"; writeln(greeting); ?> ... </html> I wonder how hard it would be to implement something like this for D.

Not that hard I think. Oh, now that I think of it, you should check out Vibe.d and especially its templates: http://vibed.org/features#diet-templates -- /Jacob Carlborg

I haven't tested it though.

If you have a list or better a *description* of what has to be done to finish the project and to update it to D2 (possibly with Phobos integration) please send it to me. My email address is there I think. Maybe I can have a look at it. I have some vague experience with combining Ojective-C and D, also I know the Cocoa Framework (although not the latest flashy additions that come with each new version of OS X, I been outta touch for a while now).

The current status is that everything compiles, but far from everything runs. I'm trying to collect a list of snippets that doesn't work and then try to fix them. I think the best approach is to try and fix as many snippets as possible before moving to D2. Here's the list of the status of the snippets I've tested: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt-mac/blob/master/todo.taskpaper#L12 The @run tag indicates the snippet doesn't crash but it seems somethings aren't working properly. The snippets I'm using are these: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/org.eclipse.swt.snippets They are actually for the D2 port but they're easy to adapt to D1. It's mostly just changing the import statements. I'm using DMD 1.072. I know for sure that version works with Tango. I'm only compiling 32bit for now. You can install DMD 1.072 and Tango using DVM: https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dvm I've written a porting guide here: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt-mac -- /Jacob Carlborg

Thanks a million. I will have a look. I am adamant to get on with DWT for Mac. What about moving to D2 right now instead of debugging for D1 & Tango first? Are there any reasons why debugging for D1 & Tango should be prioritized? Maybe it'd be better to get rid of old debts and start a new fork or branch with D2 Tango / Phobos.

I think that would be a bad idea. When something doesn't work it will be hard to figure out if it was a mistake porting Java to D or porting D1 to D2. -- /Jacob Carlborg

When something doesn't work it will be hard to figure out if it was a mistake porting Java to D or porting D1 to D2. And starting from scratch with D2? How much would that take? Given that you already have the know-how. Anyway, I will have a look at the links you've posted. Alas that Mac users seem to be a minority among D users! I see so many people using Mac these days. Maybe Apple will include D one day.
