[OSM-talk] FW: Re: New to osmosis and it won't work for me

[Nathan Scott]

Ok this may seem like a daft question, but how do you set the path so it 
uses version 1.6?

I've installed JAVA1.6 from Sun, but not sure how to force the JAVA calls to 
use it?

Thanks and Regards,

Nathan

o.k., next try: that "libgcj" suggests that you are using the GCJ VM,
which, according to its web page, "supports most of the 1.4 libraries plus
some 1.5 additions".

As far as I remember, Osmosis uses some 1.6 features, especially the
Geometry classes. There is a link to a 1.5 compatible version on the wiki
( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmosis#Downloading ), but I'm
not sure how current that one is or if GCJ+Gnu Classpath is mature enough
to intepret that version.

You wrote in an earlier email that you already downloaded JDK1.6 for your
box. Maybe you need to explicitly set your path to that version?
