A searchable archive of java-discuss is available here:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/java-discuss/

The entire archive to date is also available via ftp:
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/java/mail-archives/

And just to add to Andrew's note... the CNI documentation is online at:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java/papers/cni/t1.html

In particular, the String stuff is documented here:
