What is TioPort
TioPort is a Java-to-D converter. Its first target project is swt-3.2.1-linux-gtk-x86 and swt-3.2.1-win32-x86. The goal is, to make this convertion fully automatically. So there is perhaps a chance, that newer versions of SWT can be converted with less work.
While TioPort is the source code converter, there is 'dejavu' the D version of the java standard library....
Features of TioPort
- escaping of D keywords, which are not keywords in java.

- casting between object and array types?
- add found FQN to the imports
- change character literal for invalid UTF into hex literal
- switch rewriting due to difference in allowed cases
- refactoring of field initializers, instance initializers and static constructors
- Help generating stubs with inserting a return statement with a type correct value
- Explicit casts for buildin types
- Static Ctors
- Reflection
- Generics and Arrays
