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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBj0wu9dbnA

And a question: what would you like to see next in Descent?

Any suggestion, critic or bug report is welcome. You can use:
- the forums: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=107
- trac: http://www.dsource.org/projects/descent/report?action=new

Enjoy!

First I have to say that you're doing a great job with descent. Here are a few suggestions:

Remove "." as insertion of autocompletion. Yes I know that it's like that in JDT, BUT Java doesn't have slicing ".." and variadic functions "..."

You can remove it in Windows -> Preferences -> D -> Editor -> Content Assist, in "Auto activation triggers for D" (just remove the dot).



Add an option, when enabled, if you're in a slice [|] and pressing "." don't show the autocompletion list (| is cursor). Ctrl+Space is still available.

I'll do it, that seems a reasonable solution.



Add "Libraries" for project properties, including "User Library". See JDT, right click on project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add Library ... -> User Library. This is a must after removing "Installed Compilers" in one of the latest nightly builds.

Done!

Thanks for the feedback.
