Thanks for this effort. I looked at DWT a while back but settled 
on GtkD because it was easier to build. Either way, I will have 
to revisit this library and give it another go in my new project.

Looking at the examples I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to 
use WindowBuilder for SWT and port the generate Java code across 
to DWT.
