It's a great news for dwt fans!

But the exe works with DMD 1.030 and DWT/JFACE?

Very strange. But I won't complain. :)

So this happens with the most recent dsss in svn?

DMD 1.029 and 1.030 do not work because they crash in anonymous classes.
DMD 1.028 works.

I tested it with the 0.75 release.

But oneatatime is with DMD 1.030?

No, it was about the DSSS option in the DSSS compiler profile.

still too big.

3 MB is without the use of UPX... however

Who defines 'too big' ? What is the limit? What rules do you apply to find that number?

If you have hundreds of source files (tango+dwt+dwtx) it cannot go into a 250k executable.
So what is small enough for you?
And why should you use JFace if you want a mini app?
If you would use a java application that is based on JFace, you need the Java runtime + SWT libs + Jface libs + SWT DLLs/SOs. The compiled DWT binary has all the needed functionality in itself.

SWT and JFace is not optimized for small D applications. As in SWT so are withing JFace many internal dependencies between the classes. So even the little HelloWorld will contain the biggest part of SWT or JFace.

Perhaps DDL can be an option, if big parts of the code can be moved into external libs. But still i don't know if you would count that to the executable size. If you want to distribute your app as a small zip file, you would still need to put the libs into that zip.
