Some enterprising members of the D community have taken it upon themselves to reinvigorate the old D port of SWT in the guise of two new projects: DWT-Win and DWT-Linux. Both projects are based on SWT 3.3 and are compatible with Tango. From the NG announcement:
Status DWT-Linux:
Completed:
dnd, custom, widgets, events,
graphics, accessibitly, printing, layout
Missing:
browser, program
First helloworld example running
Size with debug info/strip/upx: 4,8 MB/1,8 MB/0,5 MB
The developers could use some helping hands with porting official SWT examples. Anyone up to the task should head on over to one of the forums for either project and let them know.

It starts now. To be eligible to win a free electronic copy of Learn to Tango With D
all you need to do is to leave a comment below telling everyone what you like the most about the D language. The following rules apply:
- any off-topic comments will not be eligible to win
- you must enter your email address in the comment form, else I can’t contact you if you win — it will not be publicly visible — and you must also leave your name in the form else I won’t consider it a valid entry.
- I ask that you only leave one comment on the given topic so that everyone has the same odds of winning — obvious multiple entries will be ignored. I have no way to enforce this beyond the obvious so it’s on the honor system.
- I may cancel the contest at any time or refuse to give the prize to anyone at all. It would take something extreme to make me do this, but if you don’t like it don’t bother entering.
- comments posted after 11:59 pm GMT on Sunday, Jan 20 will not be eligible. So get your comment in before then.
That’s it. The winner will be chosen at random from the pool of eligible entries. I’ll announce the winner within three days after the close of the contest. Now tell me what’s so great about D!

This coming weekend I will be holding a little ‘contest’ here on the blog. I will make a post asking for readers to comment on a particular subject. Everyone who comments before a predetermined time will be eligible to win an electronic copy of Learn to Tango With D. The winner will be chosen at random. I’ll make the post some time in the next 48 hours and will give all of the relevant details at the time.
