I had tried DDT on Windows with the latest version of Eclipse,
which failed, mentioning it was for some older release.

On my Ubuntu installation however, it worked fine, particularly
because Ubuntu has an older release of Eclipse (3.8). I installed
the plugin, made a test project, ran, and it produced the
expected output.

The only problem is that it doesn't autocomplete.

I also checked Descent on Ubuntu, which once again tried to run
the sourcecode directly. I had followed the steps on their
website, which were pretty much incomplete. They don't seem to be
updating their project very much recently, according to some
searches I made on their site.

Anyway, I have a (rather incomplete) D tool for Eclipse. If
anybody knows how to enable autocomplete and things like that,
please post.
