Go to jakarta.apache.org. Click Mailing Lists on the left. Click "here" near the bottom of the page after reading the page. You'll see the Archives and Searching section then.
Note that the archives.apache.org/eyebrowse archives for tomcat
don't provide text searching (though you don't find this out until you
actually try a text search).
I haven't checked recently, but the last time I looked, most of the other archives only covered tomcat up to a certain date... okay, I just checked the Mail-Archive.com tomcat-user list, it seems current:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user%40jakarta.apache.org/
Jakarta makes the full mbox archives available for bulk download,
at http://jakarta.apache.org/mail/tomcat-user/, but that's about 40
files, and at a rough guess the zipped files add up to about 45 MB,
plus the one unarchived file at 15MB.
Figuring from some prior experiences, playing around with the raw archives of the sun-sponsored servlet-interest list, the compression ratio with gzip will typically be about 5.6, so that'll make it 267 MB when uncompressed, and guessing that the average message size is about the same as on the servlet-interest list, that will probably work out to about 566,000 messages.
There are times when I've considered coding up a private search archive of the various lists I use a lot (mostly java-related), using Lucene, the java search engine API that eyebrowse is based on. I don't think I could really afford to serve such a beast to the public. But the raw data compresses down pretty well, so I could build it, build the index, then package it all up and post it to some public site somewhere for folks to download.
Some day in my copious spare time :-).
