I'm looking for a page or website that perhaps has a listing of things to make D development easier.

I've heard of an app called DIDE, that I cannot find a link to on google.
I've heard of a D Eclipse plugin that i cannot find on the eclipse site or
google.
I've heard of gool and DUI, but only found the SVN hosted code.

I thought I found a link on how to convert from c++ to D the easy way, but can't find it anymore.

I'm looking for perhaps a page that includes D libraries, links to IDE's, links to D Based projects, etc.

I'd like to look into converting an existing project from C++ to D, D seems to have the answers to a lot of problems I've had during development but I don't quite have the time to be doing command line everything and text editing in notepad.

Any help is appreciated.

Take a look at www.dsource.org, also http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?FrontPage.

My first post wasn't very helpful, so I'll try again : )

I recommend you check out elephant IDE

Here's a C to D conversion guide...

Thanks.

I've found that using Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/) with the Build utility (http://www.dsource.org/projects/build/) is a great combo. You could configure CE to call out to Build, but I just keep a command prompt open. With different Build Response Files containing the command line parameters for different configurations (debug, optimized, profile, etc...), compiling and running from the command line can be as simple as:

build @dbg

No need to update the brf files when you add new modules as build finds and compiles all imported modules automatically. It's a fantastic tool. I've used MSVC, Eclipse, Java, CodeWarrior, and several flavors of Borland for C/Java development over the years. So far with D, I don't miss any of them when using CE and Build. I've even started using CE + SCons for C development. And if I could get the auto-refactoring of Eclipse in to CE for Java development, I'd use it there too. Of course, then I'd be missing the simplicity of Build.

I use the same setup, although I use the custom tool feature of CE.

What exactly do you mean you don't miss any of them when using CE and Build/SCons? I was thinking you didn't miss the other IDE's and their features (! .. which is quite astounding), but then you say you don't use CE because of code refactoring elsewhere (of Eclipse JDT I presume)? And then what does code refactoring have to with "missing the simplicity of Build"?
