Yes. In fact, JDT has a built-in Java compiler in their implementation. Maybe it was easier to do it for them because the Java spec is easier and doesn't fluctuate that much as the D spec. And JDT used that compiler all over the place for getting all those IDE features.
Exactly. Java hasn't changed much in the last 10 years (ok, just now it starts to changed again). JDT also contains a full compiler, not just the frontend, so it can compile all code. This would be nice to have for D as well but I think the frontend is the most important part.
