I was pleasantly surprised to see that a small java SWT code I wrote compiles directly with DMD compiler & DWT lib. Only change I had to do was to change String to string and comment out printStackTrace.

This gets even better because now I can use Google's Windows Builder Pro to create SWT GUI code.

Probably this was deliberate by design, still thank you for all the hard work.

oh, forgot to mention, one more change I had to do was
public static void main --> void main.

I'm wondering if you can modify that to output D code directly.

Or possibly just write a simple post processor that makes the modifications for you?

We tried to automatically port SWT to D, it didn't work out that well. One basically need to port half of the Java standard library.
