Organizing the code in D is quite similar as in Java. Although there's 
no enforcement of a one to one mapping of classes and files. In D you 
can have multiple public symbols in a module (file). Classes, structs, 
functions, variables and so on.

Instead of using the reverse domain name as in Java, the convention is 
to name the root package the same as the library/project name.

The distribution is done using Dub (see my other post).
