Oh, so you wanted "similar" words! You should have said so... your inquiry said you were looking for "related" words. So, which is it? More specifically, what exactly are you looking for, in terms of the semantics? In any case, "find similar" (MoreLikeThis) is about the best you can do out of the box.

en, it seems nice, but I'm puzzled by you and Andrew Gilmartina above,
what's the difference between you guys ?

The different is that similar documents do not give you similar terms. Similar documents can show a correlation of terms -- ie, whereever Lucene is mentioned so is Solr and Hadoop -- but in no way does this mean that the terms are similar. Accumulating similar and/or synonymous terms is a manual process. I am sure there are text mining tools/algorithms that make discoveries, but I do not know about these. (I am a journeyman programmer not a researcher.) If anyone does know about them, please share with this list.
