The Descent plugin for Eclipse provides an IDE for writing, launching
and debugging code in D.
Explanations on how to get it from within Eclipse are here:

(There's no need to do the nightly-build manual stuff for this. If you
previously had a nightly-build, you must need to remove it before
updating. Anyway, the current nightly-build reflects this release, so
you can just do it manually if it turns out easier for you.)
This release is just an accumulation of small features and bug fixes
since the last (official, not nightly-build) version. But since I don't
want everyone to think "Aww, nothing new, just a new number", this
release also includes support for array "extension methods" in
autocompletion. For this to work, the function that you want to use as
an extension must be in the current module, or already imported (so for
example you won't get methods from std.algorithm, tango.core.Array or
tango.text.Util until you have an import for them in the module you are
currently typing in).
Here's a video that shows this functionality:
