You are welcome :)

I use it this way from the beginning on both Windows and Ubuntu. I first 
installed Descent into Java Eclipse, but it was also first time I saw Java 
and Eclipse :) so I was quite overwhelmed by the lot functionality available 
and could not find which is for D and which for Java. This way it is more 
beginner friendly.

Thank you for your hard work on Descent.
