Using Pig web documentation in Pig-Eclipse plugin

[Eyal Allweil <ey...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

Hi guys,
I'm working on the next version of Pig-Eclipse, which will contain (among other things) hover information. For example, for macros, it will display the macro definition line -
DEFINE my_macro(A, sortkey) RETURNS C

For UDF's it will attempt to find the javadoc (the jar has to be loaded in the workspace in some way) and display it.

I was thinking of having the plugin come with hover information for some of the reserved words of Pig as well. My initial idea is to take some or all of the entries listed in the "Pig Basics" page (for example, http://pig.apache.org/docs/r0.12.1/basic.html#assert ).

This would be useful for beginners - it would be like a light-weight help system for them as they learn Pig.

Is there any problem with doing so, in terms of copyright, licenses, etc? Pig-Eclipse uses the Eclipse Public License.

If it's fine, I might also want to include the javadocs from the builtin functions, so that people who use Pig-Eclipse just to open pig files without loading the Pig jars into their Eclipse workspace can see their definitions as well.

Thanks,
Eyal
