There's not really a full IDE available yet, but DBug (which is still under
development) has some debugging capabilities:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/dbug/

There are some editors that either come with syntax highlighting for D or can be
configured to work with D source:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport

There's a variety of other tools available, also:

The Zeus for Windows IDE has improved support for the D 
language. 

The latest version comes with a modified ctags.exe utility 
which adds support for the D language (see link for more
details):

http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php

This means the class browsing, code completion and tag 
searching features should now work for the D language.

Maybe it's usable but VERY BUGGY, you can't deny that fact.
For example, sometimes it doesn't save the global settings (i.e. compiler path,
etc.). Some X buttons (exit/close) doesn't work. Moreover it currently creates a
default edit instance of a file called 'Elepha1' that wouldn't close when asked.
This kind of (very basic) bugs are from which Elephant suffers yet.
Oh, I almost forgot it also closed abruptly with an ugly error a few days ago!
:D

Doesn't seems too buggy? That's black magic for sure!

I've been tempted to start pushing D to the K guys for a long time.

It's just amazing how unstable most of the K stuff is. And I just can't 
help feeling it's all because of C (or C++).

Well maybe you guys should try the non-free IDE that isn't buggy.

Yeah. Mostly, it's just that I can appreciate the motivation and 
dedication that goes into the support of commercial software products.

Free software is great.  And I'm very thankful to those that donate 
their time to it.  In the end, though, business keeps things going.

There's definitely a place for both open source and commercial products. 
  For those commercial products that profit from using some open source 
technology in the code, it's nice to see them give portions back (ie 
source improvements, tools, etc) to the open source community too.

Compiles flawlessly on my machine using:
gcc version 3.4.4 (Gentoo 3.4.4-r1, ssp-3.4.4-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
wxGTK 2.6.1

Did ya try disabling the profile plugin and see if it'd still go?
Did ya apply the D patch? I didnt.

And D compiler settings would have to be tweaked on linux. They were 
developed with windows and I haven't tested them over there.

Don't even get me started on the whole free-software-versus-economics thing; 
I really take no side, except to say that when free/open-source software is 
buggy/incomplete, you really have no reason to complain; go hack on it 
yourself which was what the model was intended for.  Don't get me wrong 
here- I love open source software, it makes real good analysis for 
techniques to do certain things, and I certainly don't have any objection to 
open-source software that works; I'm just saying it's more prone to beeing 
buggy conceptually.

 Beggers can't be choosers.  Nothing is trully free in this world.

Wasn't that plugin from the same author of Elephant? I thought Elephant was the
legacy of that Eclipse plugin and that the plugin development was abandoned. 

IMO Eclipse is "God of all IDEs" but also "the slowest and most RAM-demanding
IDE on Earth (head to head with VS.NET2003+ in this concerns (Eclipse written in
Java of course))" and I personally never seen Eclipse working with another
language as good as it does with Java. At any rate I hope that with my future
quantum processor/machine Eclipse would run smoothly :P

I just had to chime in here and say that you're not alone in feeling this way
about Eclipse.  I always kid with other devs by saying that I *writing* software
in Eclipse is great, but then I have to close it to test my software.  Also its
integration with other languages *is* pathetic and its support for things like

I just looked at the coming 3.2 release - Eclipse + Java really rocks! 
But unfortunately we're discussing D here :(

Running Eclipse on a decent Linux box with >1GB memory isn't that 
painful. Although the funniest thing is that Eclipse tries hard to lag 
even when writing simple text into an empty file.

I love it.  We're getting closer to that all the time.  If the current crop of
projects pans out, by this time next year, D will have a very impressive
toolchain.  The best is truely yet to come.

But to have *every last shred of code* in D, violates the 80/20 rule (maximum
results for the minimum effort).  To that end, we shouldn't turn our backs on
great C libs like ICU, SDL and such as long as integration isn't a real pain.

Yeah I agree, I think we are on a pretty impressive roadmap. I love the idea of
having all the core stuff in D. But you are right, I originally began porting
scintilla to D and then I realized that some components arent really worth it;
at least learned a lot about D from it. But some things really are a pain to
integrate with D, especially if you have to go from C++ to C to D. Eventually
someone will have a solid C++ -> D converter anyway and we will really take off.


I think with DDL etc we are going to wind up with some amazing functionality
with this language. I think the only thing we are really missing is some sort of
a package management system, not that its needed but it would be really slick.

 The best IDE for D is most certainly excellent Elephant IDE. Freeware.




 It's nice but still TOO BUGGY!
 It'd be nice if the author opens a little more the project and join some
 collaborators. This would rapidly increase the product quality.

 BTW, any news on the D Eclipse plugin? The latest "stable" version has a 
 bad habit of going into an endless loop when saving code that has 
 unterminated code blocks.


Do You EclipseD plugin? If so i currently working on it. You try to install 
latest aplpha from htt://svn.dsource.org/projects/eclipseD/trunk/updates.

Is there any Intigrated Development Enviornment for D ?


Well I have to agree about Eclipse being a great IDE - personally I don't really
have any speed problems with it except that it takes a while to start up. Since
the C/C++ toolkit allows you to specify the compiler you're using maybe you
could just use that? Somebody mentioned a D plugin - can we have a link for
that? Thanks.

However never mind Eclipse, nobody has mentioned Vim! Vim now has D syntax
installed as standard, and of course you can compile from within it and jump to
the error lines. OK, so it's not quite an IDE but integrated compilation and
editing is half of the benefit you get with an IDE. Of course Vim might not be
your cup of tea, personally I love it. http://www.vim.org/

I've never used CodeBlocks - I'll have to give it a whirl. Thanks for the
suggestion.

Hope this is helpful

Cheers

Munch

PS I should add that I've only just found out about D, d/l the compiler etc. I
haven't written even a hello world program yet!

That eclipse plugin is no longer the "preferred" d plugin for Eclipse. 
There's also one called "Blackbird" that is much better (ie not buggy). 
  I don't know the link, but you should be able to find references to it 
and its download link in the D.announce newsgroup.

The development of Blackbird is stopped.
All of it features and much more will be available in new D Development

Currently DDT is in (early?) beta stage.

Ah... my mistake. Thanks for the update.  So you took over eclipseD at 
dsource.org?  I'm glad to see Blackbird has been merged into that

differentiate the projects?

You can try to install it from eclipse's "find & install" feature - update  
address is http://svn.dsource.org/projects/eclipseD/trunk/ddt.updates/
But I dont think it is usable in current state.

Me neither at home with a 1GB DDR corsair, amd64 venice 3000+, 8MB buff maxtor
diamond 7200rpm HDD and MSI mobo... if it runs slow in this baby, don't know
what else to do. But at work, 512 mb generic DDR, athlon 2600+, asus mobo 2MB
buff 7200rpm HDD: not such an ugly machine, it runs pretty slow sometimes (when
opening and closing eclipse and sometimes it just blocks for a while until it
responds (i'm talking about under a fresh WinXP installation)). In a FreeBSD 5.3
with 256MB it's a pain in the ass (not because the OS).
