I've got a small example running (Display, Shell and Combo) in D2. There
are some things that need to be decided, like what the String alias

immutable(char)[]. That seems to work so far, and is a better match for
the Java string semantics that DWT have inherited.
DMD 2's stricter conversion rules have actually caught some bugs in DWT.
In some places, a wchar is implicitly converted to a char, which is not
allowed in D 2.
It would be great if DMD 1.x would accept the __gshared keyword, though.
It sucks to have to use string mixins or static this to work around
that.
I guess we have to look at all these D2 things. I haven't done any dwt
development lately, haven't had time, which I don't like.
I'm considering creating at least a a temporary fork of DWT 2 on
bitbucket.org. Then I can just check in some stuff and see how it turns
out. It's possible that I'll have time to do some work on it this
summer, but that might change quickly...
You can see if Frank can give you access to the repository, try sending
him an e-mail. I know we can use some more people on this project. I
don't even know if I have commit access to the DWT2 repository, what I
do know is that I have at least access to the dwt-mac repository.
