For this release Robert Fraser made an excelent addition: when compiling 
programs using an external tool such as dsss, rebuild, dmd, gdc, ldc, 
gdmd or bud, there are now links to the files in the console output for 
warnings and errors. I think this one was pretty requested. So say 
thanks to him! :-)

This release has also some enhancements/bug-fixes:



  - "Run as D application" should appear most of the time in correct 
places, as requested in the forums.

Any suggestion, critic or bug report is welcome. You can use:

Enjoy!

I didn't know about that. Very nice.

Keep up the good work! I'm happy to see D2 support is progressing.

Do I need to enable this somewhere? external tools (bud) != nice links like in the screenshot :(

Is the executable name any of "bud" or "bud.exe"? I think that's what the process name is for Eclipse, and the links are associated to the process name (not to the name you choose for the external tool).

:) May I suggest adjusting the filter to "bud*.exe" or add a note on dsource as I sometimes append the version to the filename.

The method I'm using is a really weird hack where the executable names are hardcoded in the plugin.xml and there's no way to filter based on anything but absolute strings. I may need to implement a different type of external tool that adds links... I'll ask in the eclipse NG.

This looks like it's coming along very nicely! Question, though, how well is D2 stuff supposed to work right now, including automating builds with Rebuild? I tried (admittedly not very hard) to set up Descent and Rebuild because I'm sick of using CodeBlocks, which functions mostly as just a text editor for D. I ran into various little bumps along the way. If D2 is supposed to work reasonably well now, I'll try harder, RTFM, and post more detailed questions if I still have any. If D2 support is not really usable yet, then I'd just rather wait until it is.

D2 is not suppoted. It was supported some time ago (at least at the parsing level), but now D2 has changed. I'll change that in the wiki. I don't know when it'll be supported, because there's a lot of porting to do, and the last ported version was something like 2.003... and no one is taking care of that porting. I prefer making compile-time debugging first, as it will also help me later catch bugs in the port of D2.
