digitalmars.D.learn - Java to D

reply GreatSam4sure <greatsam4sure gmail.com> writes:
Good day everyone.

DWT is a library for creating cross-platform GUI applications. 
It's a port of the SWT Java library from Eclipse. Currently 
supported platforms are Windows, using Win32 and Linux, using GTK.

What are the tools and step involved in converting a java GUI 
toolkit to D2? Is it possible in D2? What are the tools and steps 
involved? Is there any tutorial involve? Can one get a mentor for 
such a program in the forum

I am thinking if it is possible to port JavaFX to D(i.e. DFx). 
That will be nice for the D language. Javafx is a nice GUI 
toolkit.

I am basically interested in GUI desktop app that connects to the 
web for the now.

I can do that on Java but I would love to use D if it is possible.


I will be happy to be linked to material, tools, and tutorial 
that will be of help

DWT is ported manually from Java. Here's a very short guide [1]. That 
guide is probably written for D1.

I'm working on a tool do be able to automatically convert Java code to D 
code [2]. It's been a while since I did any actual work on that project. 
As far as I can remember, it can do a syntactic translation of most Java 
code. What's remaining is the semantic translation.

Take a look at JavacTo  https://sourceforge.net/projects/javacto/

This is a java tool that uses the javac compiler to translate 
java to another language.  And includes a java to D code set.

It is a very visual tool and has great animation during 
translation and works well while using the java debugger. I 
include “How to get started with Eclipse”.

You can find more translations statistics at this post: 
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/yuamvgsdfshgrbesmjlt forum.dlang.org#post-yuamvgsdfshgrbesmjlt:40forum.dlang.org

Hope this helps....
