[osmosis-dev] How to merge 2 osm files

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi there,
I was wondering how i can use osmosis to merge 2 osm files.

I use Windows XP and want to use the command line for it.

My guess is this

osmosis --rx file2.osm --rx file1.osm --m --wx merged.osm

Yet it does not work on my computer.

When preforming this task, i need to make file1.osm and file2.osm in
the 'osmosis' directory.

Perhaps i need to use

java -jar osmosis.jar --rx file2.osm --rx file1.osm --m --wx merged.osm

and i get a 'noClassDefFoundError

similar to the errors in this thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/newbies@openstreetmap.org/msg01252.html

Unfortunatly, the wiki page tells users to download a planet.osm file.
 But that is just 1 function of the osmosis program, and not what im
looking for.

I dont have a planet.osm extract, nor a local PostgreSQL rails port database.

Im just looking to take 2 .osm files and bring them into 1 .osm file.

Thanks,
Sam

P.S.  I'll post the question to http://help.openstreetmap.org/  and
see if the right answer is found :)
