I tried both DDT and Descent with disappointing results.  Neither one would open a D file for me under Eclipse 3.2.0 Win32.  What do we need to do to get something working?  Without a nice tool I feel productivity will be suboptimal.

At least Descent correctly integrates with the Find & Install feature of Eclipse, but that's not enough.

What do you mean? Eclipse opens .d -files even without DDT/Descent installed. Currently Descent adds D related entries to the 'new ...' dialog and does syntax highlighting etc.

So you have managed to install it? There are instructions at http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/. Have you tried switching to the D profile? Are you using some unstable development version?

Humm... And now I read this and I read you are using Eclipse 3.2. My version is 3.2.1. Maybe they added the "group.information" menu group in 3.2.1 but in the javadoc they put "@since 3.2".

Please be patient. I'm currently working on showing semantic errors as you type by using DMD's code... and it's working! :-)

(but it'll take some time)
