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 
should be.  Would be nice if could be a Phobos string, ie. 
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.
