DDT is one of the best Dlang IDEs I've used so far. It mostly works very well, but it's sad to see that the most recent commit was last Feb.

Many thanks in advance!

From there, you might want to read up http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Whitepaper-Platform-3.1/eclipse-platform-whitepaper.html , and possibly: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Articles,_Tutorials,_Demos,_Books,_and_More

If you wanna work on a specific feature or functionality, I can let you which classes to look at to get you started.
