There is a Java program with free license for search of related terms in Wikipedia. It is Synarcher program. Welcome http://synarcher.sourceforge.net
It contains functions to access Wikipedia data and several algorithms (see Bibliography at the site). But at this moment the Wikipedia API in Synarcher is not so clear as JWPL (I think it's too complex now). I am planning to improve the design of Synarcher code in future.
