I don't know about tomcat. But I believe that there's a problem with 
"eclipse" as we usually analyze it in the context of DaCapo: my 
understanding is that the default way of analyzing it only gets the 
Eclipse loader, not the bulk of the code, which is inside jar files and 
hence unanalyzed.

I don't know about how large of a program people do manage to analyze 
successfully.
