Hi all,

I'm glad to announce a new version of Pig-Eclipse. We've been using it for a 
few weeks where I work (PayPal) and I think we've caught most of the bugs. 
There are many new features -

- syntax highlighting for versions 0.11 - 0.14 (you can choose the version in 
the preferences page)

- auto complete - reserved words, built-in functions, macros, other "define" 
targets, and relations. Some false positives (it will suggest relations that 
are within a macro and not in context, for example) but everything you want 
should be there

- hover information - for macros, their definition ( for example, define 
my_macro(param1, param2) returns return_val ). For UDF's it searches for their 
source code in the workspace and displays their javadoc, if it finds it.

- open declaration (F3) - Jumps to either a macro or UDF's definition, if it 
finds it.

The project has moved from Google Code (they're closing) to GitHub - the new 
page is 
https://github.com/eyala/pig-eclipse

The Eclipse update site has also moved, so you will need to add it in order to 
continue to receive updates:
http://github.com/eyala/pig-eclipse-update-site/raw/master 

It should run on any Eclipse with Java 6 and up, although the oldest that I've 
tried was Indigo.

Feedback, comments, improvements - all are welcome.

Enjoy,
Eyal
