Hello,

stil thinking about which GUI to use and today I noticed that according
to web site, DWT is based on SWT-3.4, while SWT at upstream is at
4.5,4.6, so I'm interested if porting SWT to DWT is mostly manual work
which seems to be disadvantageous and destined to be always a lot behind
the upstream or there is plan to somehow make the whole process more
automatic and therefore closer to upstream?

That seems to be one of Gtdk's 'pros' since it's much closer to the
upstream.


Sincerely,

Yeah, currently it's completely a manual process. I've abandoned the 
idea of manually updating if favor of an automated process. I'm working 
on a tool [1] that will automatically translate the Java code to D.

That's reasonable indeed...It must be huge effort to port it manually.

That would make DWT very attractive option for writing GUI apps. I also
heard from another D user that SWT is high-quality library for business
applications...

Any ETA when you DWT might me updated to 4.x ?

Unfortunately no. It takes quite some time to write a tool that converts 
Java to D. Currently my focus is to rewrite the D grammar that is used 
by GitHub and TextMate, it's currently broken in some cases.
