digitalmars.D.ide - DDT Resurrected

Hi! I haven't worked with D in years and have no idea if anyone 
needs it, but I resurrected DDT for Eclipse. Since I was too lazy 
to deal with all the language changes and update the parser, I 
optionally integrated serve-d. And yes, this is all just AI-slop, 
tested only on my machine.

Haven't tried it, but it looks like a quite interesting. Do you 
need to use the eclipse CDT version or can the Java version 
suffice?

Off topic: I'm surprised no-one else finds this interesting 
enough to reply. But there is nowadays very little activity in 
the IDE Group, so maybe you should also post under Announce.

  Now test it, successfully installed on the Java version.

Maybe. Overall, I think this plugin is just a 'bingo' of lack of 
demand. I took it up myself simply because I wanted to play 
around with DLLM, and my only IDE is Eclipse.

Good stuff! I used DDT many years ago - it was OKish...
I always thought Eclipse is now more/less in "maintenance" mode, 
and their focus is on Theia , correct me if I am wrong. The only 
IDE I use that is based on Eclipse is the DBeaver Enterprise 
edition, which I still believe is one of the best DB tools out 
there.

  Eclipse continues to be actively developed, but it's just not as 
popular as it once was. However, it still has a large percentage 
of Java developers.

  Overall, I find it odd that editors like Notepad++ are at the 
top. Are there really so many programmers who don't need 
IDE-specific features?
