 Now i can test if "org.eclipse.swt.SWT.SWT" exists.
 If so, is there a way to call the static method "static_this()"?




 I cannot use them, because of circular dependencies. This is, why i
 "manually" call "static_this()" methods (note the underscore) in a
 defined order.


 There isn't a way to do that with reflection at the moment.

Actually, I think Reflection is going to be the biggest feature added to D
since 1.0; it'll let us easily build context sensitive code generators within
D; as we saw with that FPU vector optimization code that was in here a few days
ago.

If we get that in order, I could very readily see SSE2 and graphics
optimization code generators being written in D; which would blow C++ game
support out of the water.
