The DWT projects over at DSource all use Mercurial rather than Subversion. They are now all configured such that you can download zip/gz/bz2 snapshots directly from the browser. You can get snapshots of dwt-win, dwt-linux, dwt-samples and dwt-addons.

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, programFirst 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.
