There's a project at dsource.org called Tioport, that tried to automated 
the process of port SWT to D. But the author gave up that project and 
started to manually port SWT instead. It turned out that you would need 
to port a large part of the Java standard library.

There's also a C++ port of SWT available. It uses NewJ which implements 
the core Java API in C++.

If you have basically the whole Java standard library (or the core APIs) 
ported to D it would be a lot easier to automate the port.

I recommend you give it a try.
