Question regarding tools, which display client images

[Hyrelius]

Hello,

a friend of mine and I decided to try making an Eclipse plugin, which would allow a nice preview of HTML files on a regular dialog box (NpcHtmlMessage) as well as on the bigger one (ShowBoard, community board).

We'd also like to be able to display images, which are available on the client only. Since they are copyright by NCZ0ft, I thought it'd be best to not include them in the plugin. I'd include placeholder graphics instead - in case the developer does not have (or does not want to use) any extracted client-side images.

Would it be still alright to offer the plugin on here? Except for those 2 dialog boxes no images would be shipped with the plugin. Instead we'd have a property where the user could set a path to the extracted TGA images, which in turn would be used for previewing images live inside a Eclipse editor.

I thought I'd ask before actually spending lots of time on this and then not being able to offer it here. You might ask why I'd want to offer it here anyway. The answer is: I've used L2J for quite some time, yet I wasn't really able to give anything back, because at the server I was working on, I wasn't really allowed to publish any of my scripts. So I feel like I should give something back and I want to explore Eclipse (v4+) plugin development, because I might need it in my job later.

Thanks for replies in advance!°

Do it for the learning experience.

I did a similar plug-in, but is not ready to be shared.
