I want to develop IDE for D

It's easy. Once you have the Eclipse (3.7 is safe to use), you go
Help/Install New Software, and in the first field you add a new update
site: http://ddt.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/git.updates/

Click the DDT project and OK.
Don't forget to specify the DMD/GDC executable package
(Window/Preferences/DDT/Compilers). On Windows, with DMD you have to give
the path:
 <path-to-dmd-installation>\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe

And it is ready to work! (The compiler doesn't come in bundle so you need
to have DMD installed on your box, which you most likely have already).

I would like to persuade you to have a closer look on the DDT project. It
is cross-platform, and though Eclipse is slow because of Java, it has
everything what a programmer needs. There's a big need for people improving
the DDT project. VisualD is so far the most well equipped IDE, but it is
also a sort of dead-end in cross-platform sense because the underlying IDE
can not be ported to linux/mac.

QtCreator also a good choice (especially if I can get the QtD building on
Linux box :) ).
