D isn't Java, and never will be.  If you want similar 
functionality, you put the functions in a separate file, and add 
the line to the top of it:

```d
module modulename;
```

and title the file modulename.d.  Then you can use this module as 
a .class file in java by adding

```d
import modulename;
```

to the file that uses it.
