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