Yes, I know Java and I wrote a no-nonsense application using 
SWT/JFace a couple of years ago, so I'm basically familiar with 
both of them. I know Cocoa & Objective-C too. That's why I'd like 
to help you out with the DWT Mac project, time permitting.

I was also thinking about an interim solution that uses Cocoa as 
UI layer and have the business logic entiely in D2 using a bridge 
or something. I have read your description of the ObjC bridge and 
have done something similar too. I was thinking that developing 
minimal binding/bridging mechanisms for various languages would 
be a good thing in order to glue D to anything you want. Again, 
time is a crucial factor.
